Pre-Fight Considerations (Pound for Pound!)

Costs

It's not free to borrow money, so it is important to weigh up all the costs involved. Getting the lowest rate does not automatically mean you have the cheapest loan to service. There are often hidden costs, through different fees and charges, that contribute to the overall cost of your loan. (read the small print!)

Banks are businesses too, and this is how they make money. However we are experts at reading and understanding the way banks outline their costs, and can help you make the best decision.

Securing Finance

To secure finance, you will need to put up eligible assets as collateral. More often than not, this will be an existing property, vehicle, equipment or existing funds. In case you default on repayments, the lender will use these assets to recover any losses that may occur as a result of defaulting. However, opting for secured finance can improve your chances of being successful in your application.

If it is not possible to secure finance, you will need to either take out unsecured finance or use existing funds as collateral. There may be options available to you that you have not yet considered or as yet are unaware of.

Reasons to Get in the Ring and Secure Finance (Round for Round!)

A stronger position long-term for your business

Everyone's situation is different. You need room to grow your business. Making the decision to get a loan is a good start, as it will help project your business forward.

If you don't finance your business properly, you could risk a healthy growth rate early on and will need to dedicate more personal time and energy over the longer term. So the cost of inaction could actually be far more expensive.

Establishing your business with financial backing can quickly set the foundations needed for long term success, and drastically improve your chance of dealing that industry knockout blow!

Predictable Cashflow

By maintaining a cash buffer, and knowing if there’s a deficit that you’re covered, you can relieve any worry and stress of maintaining your financial position which in turn helps you focus on your business. Since anxiety over finances can potentially have negative consequences on day to day operations.

Fatigue is a common condition of burnt out business owners, and if you add a splash of financial stress, you're not in for an enjoyable ride. Having a loan in place will not only give you peace of mind, but can significantly contribute to a positive mindset. Call it the placebo effect!

Improve on Credit History

Prove you’re worthy when it comes to credit, and if your track record shows you are responsible when it comes to managing funds, this will reflect in your ability to secure finance. Showing you’re responsible to lenders will allow you to be successful in your credit application and ensure a smoother process.

If there happens to be any black marks against your credit history (no judgements here!) it may be a matter of shining the best light on your circumstances.

Minimise Tax

Spend money to make money, as the old saying goes. If your business is in need of assets that are core to your operations, such as a new vehicle, plant and equipment, or machinery - then financing can help dramatically reduce your tax liabilities.

The instant asset write off is one example, and how you can leverage tax incentives to the best effect will always depend on your situation. As a side note, the interest amount payable on a business loan is mostly always tax deductible.

Quicker Access to Funds

This is especially important in an emergency, when the unforeseen occurs or when circumstances dictate. If you don’t have enough funds available, then your only option may be unsecured finance to make up the difference. New loan approval can be secured in less than 24 hours, especially if we’re talking about unsecured loans, since there is no security required.
