. 5 min read
Short term finance solutions are an option for businesses where the relief measures for high fuel prices are insufficient in supporting cash flow shortages. The situation in the Middle East has created a serious crisis for many Australian businesses. The high price of fuel and supply shortages causing issues with meeting their commitments. Many transport operators may soon receive their monthly fuel bills and be left short to make the payment. While the general public are advised to take public transport and adapt their travel plans, for business, the solution is not that simple.

Will the Middle East conflict affect business finance rates?
. 5 min read
The Middle East conflict started in March 2026 has the potential to affect business finance rates through a spike in inflation, though the situation is unclear. Interest rates in Australia, specifically the cash rate, is determined by the Reserve Bank Monetary Policy Board. Decisions are based on the domestic outlook and economic data and potential impacts from global events. Over time we have seen how events overseas can affect both our economic conditions and our interest rates. How long the Iran conflict continues and how widespread it becomes are unknown at this stage. But even in the early stages, commentary in Australia is focussed around the impacts on the domestic economy, especially fuel prices and interest rates. The Governor of the Reserve Bank, Michelle Bullock speaking at a business summit on 3 March reportedly said the unfolding situation was a ‘timely reminder’ of the speed at which things can change. Ms Bullock said it was too soon to say what... Read More
Is it realistic to refinance asset loans after a rate rise?
. 6 min read
Businesses looking to refinance asset loans after a RBA rate rise may or may not get a better rate, but other credit solutions may deliver effective outcomes. When refinancing, many businesses are seeking a lower interest rate to reduce repayments. When the Reserve Bank (RBA) announces an increase to the cash rate, many lenders will follow with an increase to their own rates. Depending on the interest rate on the current finance, seeking a lower rate through refinancing may be a challenge in this type of scenario, but not always insurmountable. The commercial credit market is vast and highly competitive and attractive interest rates may be found through the right lenders. Business owners may also find other ways to achieve the same objective as they were seeking with refinancing. These may include restructuring the loan and by considering alternatives to refinancing. Alternatives such as specialised credit products to address the issues which have given rise to the need for refinancing.... Read More
Do you need to switch or fix commercial loan rates?
. 5 min read
Businesses may look to switch or fix commercial loan rates to achieve a better rate or different repayments through refinancing with a different lender. The interest rate is the most critical element of the finance for most businesses. It determines not only how much they need to pay each month in repayments, but the amount of interest that accrues on the loan. The repayment level can impact cash flow and profitability while the total interest bill impacts the overall cost of the acquisition which effects ROI. With interest rates once again ‘front and centre’ courtesy of a surge in inflation, businesses may take the opportunity to review their credit arrangements and investigate if more affordable options are available to them. Options and opportunities which may place them in a better position to achieve productivity gains, gain market advantage, and improve their bottom line. Commercial Loan Rates Outlook The release of figures by the ABS in late 2025 showed an uptick... Read More

When is the next interest rate cut? Planning 2026 finance in an uncertain market.
. 5 min read
The RBA left the cash rate on hold for November, and the latest inflation and unemployment figures have dampened prospects for the next interest rate cut. Uncertainty surrounds the rate market at the moment. Analysts and the markets suggesting another cut may possibly not eventuate until after the RBA’s February meeting next year. Leaving businesses with a potentially challenging scenario for planning their finance requirements for 2026. The prospects for a rate cut before the end of 2025 were looking positive around mid-year. But the release of the September Quarter Consumer Price Index, inflation figures, a week before the RBA’s November meeting, dashed those prospects. The increase revealed surprising the markets and the RBA Monetary Policy Board. With no rate in November and little chance of one in December, businesses may need to assess their options for waiting for a cut or securing their best possible rates to proceed with their finance needs now.

Should you secure Market Value or Agreed Value Insurance?
. 6 min read
Buyers of goods under finance, such as vehicles, can secure coverage with Market Value or Agreed Value insurance policies - agreed may be above market value. It is important for buyers to closely consider this aspect of their policy as it represents the amount paid out by the insurance in the event the goods are stolen or written off. When goods are purchased with finance, lenders require the goods used as the loan collateral to be fully insured. This is the lender’s assurance that they will be able to recoup the funds loaned in the event that the borrower defaults on the loan. A wide range of business insurance policies may be arranged with either an agreed value or at the market value of the goods. One of the biggest markets for this to be considered is with car insurance when taking out a Comprehensive Motor Vehicle policy. The difference between the two policies is the amount covered by the... Read More
