Last week, our local Waikato adviser, Kate McGuigan, spent the day soaking up inspiration at the Wāhine Collective Symposium, where she heard from a range of empowering speakers.

Full credit to the Waikato Waahine Collective crew for putting on such a great event. We love seeing our team out in the community, learning, connecting, and coming away inspired.

How do lenders assess your risk grade and how does it impact your funding?

A clear trend in the banking and finance sector is the growing reliance on risk grades and a reduced ability for front line bankers to override or adjust system driven results. Data goes in, a number comes out, and that number shapes how a lender will view your request.

This directly affects how willing a lender is to support existing clients, the interest rates they’ll offer, and their appetite to take on new clients.

This article shares practical insights on how to present your financial accounts and management capability in the best light, giving your business the strongest possible position when you need funding.

If you have any questions, reach out to your local Finance New Zealand adviser. Our team of experts are here to help.

Time to upgrade your business assets?

With the government’s investment boost underway, now is the perfect time to upgrading your business equipment, vehicles, plant, or machinery.

One financing option to consider is 'asset finance matrix lending'. Unlike traditional lending methods, matrix lending uses non-financial credit assessment tools, providing a faster, more flexible way to secure the funding you need.

Key benefits of matrix lending:

• Faster approval times
• Reduced documentation requirements
• Greater flexibility for asset purchases
• Competitive interest rates for qualifying assets

To find out more about asset finance matrix lending for your business, read our latest news article, click 'Apply Now' on our website, or get in touch with your local Finance New Zealand adviser today. 👉 https://financenz.co.nz/news/new-era-of-credit-assessment-matrix-lending-what-it-means-for-you

Our Managing Director, Simon Webster, is also the outdoor activity leader for the Mairangi Bay Scout Group. Earlier this year, their Venturer unit made up of adventurous 13 to 15 year olds completed the iconic Routeburn Track just before Easter. As a memorable finish to the trip, the group was given an incredible opportunity to push their limits with a bungy experience, generously arranged through a client relationship of Dion Prentice at Finance New Zealand. Dion has been working closely with Henry van Ash, owner of Bungy NZ, on several different ventures, and through that connection, this special experience came to life.

The support shown highlights the value of encouraging youth development and helping young people challenge themselves in bold, meaningful ways.

Bungy NZ also offers incredible corporate packages, perfect for businesses looking to energise their teams and create unforgettable shared experiences. If you are looking for something different to inspire your team, get in touch with Bungy NZ today. 👉http://bungy.co.nz
