Business Loan Case Studies
Equipment Finance Case Study
Equipment Finance Case Study: $600k capital raise for a competitive advantage for a manufacturing business (equipment as security)
Our client had purchased manufacturing machines at auction they knew they could repurpose and create a product they needed to previously import from overseas.
Once operational the capability as the only producer in Australia would give them a competitive advantage.
Requiring $600,000 to bring the assets online the business owner had been told by a previous expert they would need to put the family home on the line to raise the level of capital required.
We could see a solution that didn’t require property.
Looking at the business owners asset register we were able to raise $600k against their existing machinery assets using forecasted earnings to demonstrate serviceability.
Cash Flow Loan Case Study
$3M restructure and extension of major bank credit facilities for a home furnishings retailer (monthly repayments lowered by $20k)
A manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer of quality home products, our client came to us seeking funding for a bespoke software solution.
Looking at their major bank loans they asked us to review all of their credit facilities which consisted of secured and unsecured term debt totalling $1.8M, a trade finance line of credit with a $750k limit and a $100k business credit card.
While being a strong, well established business they were concerned with the potential for a downturn in consumer spending over the next 6 months and were open to improving their business cash flow if a change in bank could support a material difference.
Working with another major bank we negotiated for an increase in their trade facility by a further $250k to a $1M limit and an extension from 180 to 210 days which better represented their product cycle.
The terms we negotiated also extended a new unsecured overdraft of $100k and replicated their business credit card limit of $100k.
A previous equipment finance line their current bank had extinguished was reinstated by our chosen lender.
All of these facilities were separated from the family home offering greater flexibility and increasing the ability to remove the home from business debt altogether in the future.
Looking at their core debt we gained agreement to extend the term to 15 years. The restructuring of this term loan lowered monthly repayments from $40,000 per month to $20,500.
This improvement to monthly cash flow gave our business owner significant confidence in their future cash flow management strategies and they described the outcome as exceptional.
Unsecured Overdraft Case Study
$1.5M Major Bank Unsecured Overdraft to a Professional Services Business
Our client came to us after months of delays with their existing bank seeking a line of credit to support their business plans.
Despite clearly being profitable and having upside to their business their existing bank couldn’t deliver a line of credit that didn’t involve taking security over director property.
Second tier unsecured lenders offer both term loans and unsecured overdrafts or lines of credit – but SO DO major banks.
Provided servicing stacks up for the bank facilities along with other business lending criteria, lines of credit can be secured with accounts receivable or with directors guarantees – neither of these arrangements require property security by default.
Understanding our clients business we positioned an application with our recommended bank and achieved an approval for $1.5M overdraft limit within a week of submission.
