Why use a commercial finance broker?
A commercial finance broker plays an important role for businesses looking for funding. They can source the most suitable types of finance using a whole-of-market search strategy whilst also accessing the best deals and lenders.
What are cash flow forecasts and why are these important when obtaining business funding?
Operating with positive cash flow helps your business to pay its bills, conduct day-to-day trade with minimal issues, and plan confidently for the months and years ahead. But how do you know that there will be sufficient cash available when it’s needed?
Good debt vs Bad debt
Managed well, debt can improve your credit rating, enable expansion, and stabilise cash flow. It’s the backbone of growth but with so many different types of borrowing now available, it’s important for your business to carry ‘good debt’ rather than ‘bad debt.’
How to best prepare my company for a finance application
When preparing your company for a finance application, it’s key to present the business in its best light whilst also providing realistic projections, your plans for the funding, and how it will help the business grow.
