Signs of Growth in the Pilbara: Karratha Signs & Mountway Finance
For nearly 20 years, Karratha Signs has been the go‑to team for everything from logo design to wrapping cars, boats, and even gear for the mining sector. With a crew of 15 and a busy workshop, they’ve built a reputation right across the Pilbara. Behind the scenes, Mountway Finance has been an important part of making that growth possible.
The Challenge
Like many growing businesses, Karratha Signs reached a point where opportunities were knocking — but expansion wasn’t going to happen without the right financial backing.
“We’ve expanded into the larger workshop here over the last 10 years. A lot of that is to do with Mountway.”
Debt management and future investment were always in the mix. As the projects grew bigger and more complex, owner Jed needed a finance partner who would look after the tricky stuff in the background so he and his team could focus on the work in front of them.
The Solution
Jed had known Jordan since his banking days, and when he started Mountway, the choice to stick with him was simple.
“He cares about the right outcome for us. Jordan’s got it sussed and makes it way easier for me.”
Mountway helped Karratha Signs restructure their finance, reduce debt faster, and reinvest back into the business. This meant more assets, more capability, and importantly, more headspace to keep growing.
The Outcome
Working with Mountway Finance has meant real, measurable progress for Karratha Signs:
- Expanded into a larger workshop
- Reduced debt quicker than expected
- Reinvested savings into new assets and capabilities
- Grown into a 15‑person team servicing the whole Pilbara
- Greater peace of mind with finance taken care of
Why It Matters
For Jed, finance isn’t just numbers on a page — it’s the difference between standing still and creating opportunities.
“We get great results… we’ve been able to concentrate on spending more money on the business with assets and more capabilities.”
At Mountway, that’s the whole point: keeping finance personal, practical, and powerful, so local businesses like Karratha Signs can keep leading the way across WA.
