At Paris Financial, our lending team understands that businesses need more than just home loans. Whether you’re looking to grow your operations or secure financing for essential assets, having a broker by your side can make all the difference. With access to a wide network of lenders and in-depth expertise in both commercial and asset finance, brokers can help businesses secure the right financial solutions at competitive rates.
In this guide, we’ll explore how brokers can assist in managing cash flow, navigating flexible funding options, and finding the perfect finance mix to support your business needs.
Why Work with a Broker for Commercial and Asset Finance?
With so many lending options and financial products available, finding the right solution for your business can feel overwhelming. Brokers bring a deep understanding of the commercial sector, enabling them to tailor solutions to suit your specific business requirements. Here’s why engaging a broker can be a game-changer:
- Expertise: Brokers have extensive knowledge of business funding options and structures.
- Time Savings: They streamline the process by comparing lenders and managing applications on your behalf.
- Competitive Rates: Their relationships with lending institutions often translate into better terms and lower costs for you.
Managing Cash Flow
For any business, maintaining healthy cash flow is vital. Without it, even the most successful enterprises can face operational challenges. This is where brokers come in, helping businesses access cash flow finance solutions to bridge gaps in revenue.
What Is Cash Flow Finance?
Cash flow finance provides businesses with access to cash before payments from customers are received. Brokers can connect you with solutions like:
- Invoice Discounting: Access a portion of unpaid invoices through a lender, allowing you to maintain liquidity.
- Invoice Factoring: The lender takes responsibility for collecting your invoices, reducing the administrative burden on your team.
By utilising cash flow finance, you can ensure your day-to-day operational costs are covered without unnecessary stress.
Mixed Funding for Manufacturing Assets
Businesses in the manufacturing sector face unique challenges when it comes to financing equipment. Whether sourcing machinery from overseas vendors or custom-making equipment, manufacturers often require flexible financial arrangements.
Short- and Long-Term Solutions
For manufacturers, brokers can:
- Arrange short-term financing for initial purchases.
- Transition these arrangements into long-term asset funding tailored to the industry’s needs.
For example, specialised equipment may require long-term financing, while a simple motor vehicle purchase might only need a straightforward chattel mortgage. A broker ensures you’re matched with the most appropriate lending facility for your needs.
Range and Flexibility in Lending Options
The commercial lending market is vast, with dozens of lenders offering different products. Brokers are uniquely positioned to compare these options and find the best fit for your business. Additionally, they can combine multiple lending facilities to cater to various business requirements.
Tailored Solutions
For instance:
- A chattel mortgage may be ideal for purchasing plant and equipment.
- A finance lease might work better for acquiring other essential assets.
With a broker, you’ll have access to all available lending options, ensuring your business is equipped with the right financial tools.
Brokers as Your One-Stop Finance Shop
Brokers do more than help individuals secure home loans; they’re invaluable partners for businesses looking to grow. By leveraging their expertise and networks, brokers can:
- Identify and secure commercial funding that supports your business goals.
- Preserve your operating cash flow while enabling expansion.
- Provide ongoing support for future financing needs.
