Ongoing Partnership

Business finance needs evolve. We stay in touch as your business grows, helping you access additional funding, restructure existing facilities, and optimise your lending arrangements.

Why use a broker for business finance

Business lending is more complex than residential. Having an experienced broker in your corner gives you a significant advantage.

Commercial Lending Expertise

Business finance is complex. We understand cash flow analysis, debt service coverage ratios, and the specific requirements different lenders have for commercial applications.

Multiple Lender Access

We work with major banks, non-bank lenders, and specialist commercial financiers. This gives your business access to more options and better terms than approaching a single bank.

Structured for Growth

We do not just find you a loan. We structure your business finance to support long-term growth, ensuring your facilities can scale as your business expands and your needs change.

Save Time and Focus

Approaching multiple banks individually is time-consuming and distracting. We do the legwork for you, comparing products and negotiating terms while you focus on running your business.

Cash Flow Protection

We structure repayments around your business cash flow, whether that means seasonal adjustments, interest-only periods, or flexible repayment schedules that match your revenue cycles.

SME Specialists

We specialise in helping small and medium enterprises access the finance they need. From sole traders to established companies, we understand the unique challenges Kiwi businesses face.

Frequently asked questions about business finance

Answers to common questions about commercial lending and business finance options.

What types of business finance do you offer?
We arrange a wide range of business lending solutions including commercial property loans, working capital facilities, trade finance, equipment finance, invoice factoring, business overdrafts, and unsecured business loans. We match the right product to your specific business needs and growth stage.
How much can my business borrow?
Borrowing capacity depends on several factors including your business revenue, profitability, existing debt, available security, and the purpose of the funds. Commercial property loans can extend into the millions, while unsecured business loans typically range from $10,000 to $500,000. We assess your situation and present realistic options.
Do I need security for a business loan?
It depends on the loan type and amount. Commercial property loans use the property as security. Working capital and smaller business loans may be secured against business assets, personal property, or in some cases offered unsecured. We work with lenders who offer both secured and unsecured options.
How long does business finance approval take?
Timeframes vary by product. Unsecured business loans can be approved within 24 to 72 hours. Commercial property loans typically take 2 to 4 weeks depending on complexity, valuation requirements, and due diligence. We prepare thorough applications to minimise delays and keep you informed throughout.
Can I get business finance as a startup or new business?
While it can be more challenging, there are options available for newer businesses. Some lenders consider businesses with as little as 6 months of trading history. Having a solid business plan, personal guarantees, and some form of security will strengthen your application. We know which lenders are more open to newer businesses.
