Calculators are generic devices and do not allow for individual aspects of an application and do not include lender fees and charges. Any offer may can be different from results received using a calculator.
The decision around which is the most suitable commercial credit product will depend on the accounting method used by the operation; the approach to income tax and GST; the strategy adopted for the balance sheet; and the overall objectives. It is highly recommended that operators refer to their accountant when making this decision.
