Got some questions?

While there is no silver bullet for obtaining instant finance, there are things you can do to speed the process up. In our experience, we have obtained same day and next day pay-outs. To help yourself achieve this we recommend:

• Working with a broker who knows which lender will fit your situation so you are applying to the right lender the first time.
• Responding to requests from your broker promptly.
• Be open about any credit issues on your name. it doesn’t necessarily prevent you from obtaining a loan, but it means that we know which lender will be more likely to assist, saving time applying to lenders who won’t look at credit issues.
• Be open about who else you have applied with. This saves numerous applications to the same lender via various channels (which slows the process down), and helps us identify the best solution for you early on.

While there is no Reserve Bank LVR restriction for buying a business the way there is for home lending, lenders do usually require a deposit when planning to buy a business. As a guide, lenders in the tier 2 space prefer 30-50% but there are a number of variables that come into those calculations, including how much equity you have in your personal assets and what your cashflow is like. It is worth calling us for a confidential discussion before applying so we can help you get ready to go to the lender with your best foot forward.

When buying a business, lender will take into account your overall financial position. What other income do you have? What is your credit profile like? Do you have strong personal assets? There isn’t exactly a strict answer to whether or not you can obtain 100% finance or not, but the bigger picture comes into the decision by the lender. Call us for a confidential discussion about your personal situation and we will let you know if we have a lending solution for your needs.

Business loans can be obtained by people who are sole traders, self-employed, starting a business, and most other business functions. The funds cannot be used for personal spending purposes. We do, however, have finance solutions that can be used for personal reasons so do call to discuss your situation and we will see if we can find a solution for your needs.

One of the key things a lender will do when assessing a loan application, is calculating the affordability of the loan based on the income available to you. If you want to start a business without an income, you could consider a business partnership with someone who is in stable employment, or working part time while starting your enterprise. You need to ensure you can repay the loan in the event your winning idea isn’t successful.

There are a number of different business loan products in the market, all with differing repayment styles.

• Revolving credit loans, where the cashflow of the business flows in and out of the facility and interest is paid only on the amount owing.
• Then there are invoice financing options where a lender pays you most of the value of your debtor invoice on day one and the lender is repaid on the invoice due date by your debtor. The lender then releases the balance of the invoice to you, less their fee, once they have been paid.
• Term loan products, where there is a set amount payable at a set frequency for a set period of time, providing predictability.
• Finally, there are loan facilities where you draw down a loan and don’t repay the principal or interest until an agreed date where all sums are repaid in full.

Call for a confidential discussion with one of our consultants and we will help identify which loan products will suit your business the best.

We’ve seen this many times before — the opportunity to buy a great business falls on someone’s lap, but they don’t have the cash or assets on hand to take advantage of the offer.Thankfully, we’re pretty good at what we do (if we do say so ourselves), and we can almost always come up with a solution that’s fast and fair.

If you have assets like a home or a car you are willing to put up as collateral, then a secured loan is a great solution for you. However, if you don’t have assets like that, or you simply don’t want to put them on the line for buying your business, we can help you out with an unsecured loan.

We can offer unsecured loans from between $10,000 to $500,000 to help you buy a business, which means there is no need to risk your hard-earned assets.

New Zealand is literally one of the best places on earth to own your own business, and we reckon part of the reason for that is how simple it is to get funding to buy a business. At Spinach, we’re proof of that, with our huge range of flexible options that can help you own your own business.

Working with Spinach makes the process a lot easier for you. One of our lending specialists will take the time to go through your application with you, as well as your specific situation, and then work on your behalf to find the best fit business loan from our range of 25 financiers.

You need to show:

• That your business can afford the loan repayments and if it can’t, that you can afford them personally
• What industry your business is in
• What other loans and debts your business has
• Who the owners of the business are
• What your account conduct is like by sharing the business’s bank statements

In short, no. There are situations where it is a requirement, such as if you are looking for a large loan for a startup or if you have poor history of repaying. But if your business is stable and you have good credit, then unsecured loans are possible up to $500,000. The amount you can get, and the length of the loan term depend on what size your business is and how long it has been established for.

For information specific to your situation, pick up the phone and discuss your goals with one of our specialists on 0800 774 622.

A smart business loan can get you to your business goals faster than saving can. We consider a smart business loan to be one that makes more money than the cost of the loan.

An example would be taking out a loan so that you can take on extra staff. Presumably, the staff member will generate more income for the business than the cost of the loan to get that staff member set up.

On the flip side, if you spent all that time saving up to take on the staff member, then you need to make sure your savings are keeping up with inflation, and you miss out on the income that staff member could have been earning while you waited for your savings to grow.

We need to understand the health of your business. If your business is thriving and you need support with the growth, then we can usually help with loans to pay IRD debt.

If your business is poorly managed and the IRD are chasing you then you should speak with your accountant to see what help they can provide.

We work with 25 business loan financiers and there are a wide range of interest rates depending on your situation. Rates start from 7%, but the rates you will be offered depend on which lender you need to use, what the risk of your credit is like, what security is on offer, and so on.

You should always project the cost of the money against the benefit of it in conjunction with your accountant to make sure all loan situations are the best fit for your business.
