Asset Finance

These are business loans which allow the clients to purchase business assets like plants and equipment,machinery,vehicles, and other business-related assets. It can allow clients to release equity from the assets that they already own viz-a-viz a truck that they ownand enable them to buy a new asset by using the existing asset as security.

We get enquiries for assets ranging from trucks and business vehicles to heavy machinery for forestry or diggers and cranes. Our clients in the medical profession borrow to purchase health equipment while those in the hospitality industry buy furnace and ovens. Clients in the beauty industry have borrowed to purchase laser equipment.

We have relationships with several different asset finance companies, and they all have their niche areas and businesses that they like to operate in. Based on their expertise and comfort, the borrowing terms and interest rates can vary from one lender to the other. It is therefore a good idea to have a no cost chat with us first so we can understand your needs and suggest how we may be able to assist you.

We can also structure a finance solution to best suit your needs. For instance, you may have a seasonal work pressure and want a line of credit for a few months, or you may want a lender who offers the flexibility to pay the loan faster with no penalty. We can address these issues with you so the solution that we create is fit for purpose.

We have assisted our clients to refinance their loan and reduce their interest cost while some have wanted a structure with less upfront payment and a bigger balloon payment at the end to assist with the initial setup cost.

Some key reasons for asset finance are:

Free up your business cashflow: Asset finance can allow you to avoid using your own funds or eating into your cashflow. You can have the ability to pay them off slowly as the business grows.
Capital Release: Instead of putting your personal cash or borrowing on other assets like home loan, you can release capital by refinancing the assets that the business already owns. For instance, you may have a debt free courier van and you wish to purchase another van as the business is growing. You can borrow sufficient funds to put as the deposit for the next vanon your debt free vehicle.
Business growth: If your business is going through a growth phase then it will be always hungry for more financial input to support the growth. For example, if you are adding more vehicles to your trucking business or a high-endUltrasound machine to your radiology. Based on your business’ past performance we may be able to assist you with new lending to support this growth.
Flexibility of loan repayments: We can structure your loan so you can pay it off faster with little to no penalty. We can also search for competitive rates so you can be assured that you are not paying too much for the loan. We can increase the loan term if you wish to stretch the loan to improve your cashflow.
New or Old asset– Sometimes buying an old asset will not only save you money but it can save the business by allowing you to operate without a huge hit to the cashflow. Our industry experience, knowledge and expertise while working with similar clients over the years can be beneficial to you. It can guide you to consider these factors and reduce your cost.

What have our clients used the Asset finance for:

To purchase truck as an owner operator driver and for their staff
To purchase additional vehicles for their staff to drive, like courier vans
To buy coffee machines, ovens, for their café
Ultrasound and other health industry machines
Heavy earth moving machines like diggers, excavators
Manufacturing machines including CNC
Utes and cars

Key tips to improve your cashflow:

Invoice quickly– Send your clients an invoice quickly so they know that they must pay for the items soon after they have purchased the goods or service. They will get 7,14 or 28 days to pay it, but they are aware of it immediately.
Offer clients different ways to pay – Gone are the days of cash or cheque. In fact, neither of the two is easy for modern day customers. Usinga credit card, online payment link, phone payment methods like Payclip and mobile EFTPOS can be the difference between getting paid immediately and not being paid at all.
Looking at your accounts regularly– See where and how you are spending money and what your clients are buying. No point purchasing summer clothing in winters and holding on to it because you may get a discount on it if the next winter style can influence the sale of your clothes.
Have a good accounting system– Like XERO, that can not only make a lot of accounting easy for you and save on huge accounting bills. It can also paint a picture of your income and expenditure or compare this quarter or year with the previous ones.

The service has been approachable and very efficient. My partner and I have had many enquiries along the way which were answered in great depth. Being a first home buyer, the housing process can be very daunting. There wasn’t a time when we received an answer that we didn’t understand the situation in full clarity.

Ash has been my insurance advisor for a number of years. He has arrange appropriate cover to suit my needs. Over time he has worked hard to reduce loading on my life premium and just recently, remove all loading altogether. A good result for me. He has been there for me over the years.

P Joseph

My husband and I had brought a house and had gone around the banks to get the best deal we could on our mortgage and then we had a presentation at work by Ash on how mortgage brokers can help. I decided before we finalised anything to have a chat with him and I am glad that I did. Ash managed to get us an extra 0.4% off our fixed rate and an extra $1k cash bonus. This was with our current bank and our advisor at this bank had already told us he could not match a slightly better rate by another bank. I couldnt believe that Ash could get us a rate that was so much better. Would definitely recommend having a chat with Ash.

I’d like to say a big Thank You! to Ash Teotia for his assistance in refinancing our mortgages.

We were looking to review our home lending as all our lending was floating and we thought it might be time to consider fixing at least some of it. Ash’s help was invaluable and with his help we have created a structure that meets our needs and obtained very favourable rates.

If you haven’t taken the opportunity to have a chat with Ash, I recommend it – for a small investment in effort you may be able to realise some significant savings

Thank you so much Ash and your team for all your help! Today is our first journey of being an investor! Yay!!!

A & J Delubio

Firstly I would like to thank Ash for his continuous support shown to me and my family with the finance process and it would have NOT been possible without him. He is very humble, patient and hardworking person and deals with every thing in a professional manner. From the start to the end and till today he still is in contact which shows how supportive he is. We wouldn’t have fulfilled our dream if he wasn’t there as our mortgage broker in this process. The more we praise him is very less but I would like to thank you from our heart in supporting us to purchase our dream house which we never thought of and also the process in dealing with the bank in getting approval for such a big amount and not only that getting extra funds in level 4 lock down to settle our purchase. We have already recommended him to our family and friends and will continue to support him in near future I wish him all the best and success ahead.

Charles S

Thank you for helping us secure our first home. We wouldn’t have gotten to reach this milestone if it wasn’t for all your hard word. Thank you for going the extra mile for us and for never giving up on this journey.

Chance & Mohit

I would happily reccomend Ash to anyone looking for financial advice or with assistance to broker a loan. Ash recently brokered a home loan for us and not only got an excellent deal for us but also provided valuable advice and made the whole process as seamless as possible.

Brendan McQuade

Regional Manager – Upper North Island at PGG Wrightson Ltd

Very grateful for all the hard mahi that Ash and the team have performed over the past year. From being told that I wouldn’t qualify for a mortgage by another broker due to my overseas income to Ash and the team lining up 3 banks to offer me a loan is outstanding. Ash and the team provide a very personalized service and will go the extra mile to make sure all my mortgage and insurance bases are covered.

B Wernham

After being told by another broker we would not be able to secure a loan because of my foreign income it was a welcome relief to find out that lending hub had received notification from 3 out of the big 4 banks that they would lend to us. Thanks for all the hard work in securing us this loan and persistence with our complex insurance cover.
