How to borrow to grow your business

Whether you’re looking for a lump sum to purchase a new vehicle or just want some extra cash to manage everyday cash flow, there are lots of finance options available.

Equipment finance

If you want to purchase a new car, truck or piece of machinery you can take out a loan, so you don’t have to dig into your capital.

An Equipment Loan enables you to own the asset and purchase it with a loan, using the equipment as security.

A Finance Lease, is where the bank will purchase and own the asset and lease back to you for an agreed period. You have the option to make an offer to purchase the asset at the end of the term.

An Asset Purchase, is where the bank will purchase and own the asset and you buy it from us in instalments over an agreed period. You will become the owner of the asset once the final payment is made.

If you’re looking to provide vehicles for employees, a Novated Lease may be an option. This works like a finance lease and is designed specifically for employee motor vehicles that form part of a salary package arrangement.

Small Business loans

There are a few different loan types available to meet your specific needs.

If you’re looking for a short-term cash boost, a business overdraft might be an option. It assists with the management of short-term cash flow fluctuations. This means you can keep your business operating, making withdrawals even if your account is empty. For example, an overdraft may be suitable when you may have an invoice to pay a few days prior to when money from a customer is supposed to hit your account.

A term loan is a more permanent solution and requires a longer investment. Like most loans, it is where you borrow a certain amount of money and make regular repayments at a certain rate over a set time period. You could look at this option if you’re looking for finance to purchase a fixed asset like a warehouse or business premises.
