How Finance Helped a Construction Business Expand
Client: Mid-sized construction firm based in Western Sydney
Challenge: Outdated equipment and limited cash reserves
Solution: Equipment finance
A construction company came to us looking to upgrade their fleet of earthmoving equipment. Due to recent growth, their existing machinery was under pressure, and cash flow was being stretched. They needed modern equipment but didn’t want to disrupt day-to-day operations by dipping into their reserves.
We helped them secure equipment finance through one of our 40+ lending partners, enabling them to:
- Acquire two new excavators and a tip truck
- Spread repayments over a manageable term
- Preserve working capital for payroll and operations
Today, the business has grown its project capacity by 35% and is taking on larger contracts across NSW.
Supporting Growth for a Regional Transport Operator
Client: Family-owned freight company in rural Victoria
Challenge: Rapid increase in customer demand
Solution: Small business loan
This regional transport business experienced a sudden spike in demand and needed to add two prime movers and additional staff to keep up. With minimal financial paperwork and little time to wait, they were concerned about approval delays.
We arranged a fast-tracked small business loan tailored to their needs, which helped them to:
- Purchase additional trucks quickly
- Cover initial wages for new hires
- Respond to new contracts confidently
The result? Their revenue increased by 48% in just six months, with operations expanding into South Australia.
Boosting Cash Flow for a Growing Hospitality Business
Client: Café chain with five locations across Brisbane
Challenge: Seasonal cash flow gaps
Solution: Flexible cash flow finance
Even thriving businesses face challenges. This café group was profitable but hit a slow period during the winter months. With supplier payments due and plans for a new store opening, they needed a short-term cash flow solution.
Our team secured flexible cash flow finance that allowed them to:
- Keep up with supplier terms
- Continue paying staff on time
- Fund the opening of their sixth café location
Their new location has already surpassed projections, and they’re now planning further expansion.
Investing in New Technology for a Printing Company
Client: Commercial printer in Melbourne
Challenge: Falling behind competitors in terms of print speed and quality
Solution: Equipment finance for technology upgrade
This client was facing increasing pressure from competitors offering faster turnaround and better print quality. After identifying a new digital press that could significantly improve output, they reached out to us.
Through our network of lenders, we secured equipment finance that enabled them to:
- Install cutting-edge printing technology
- Offer same-day delivery services
- Improve product quality without increasing prices
The result? Increased customer retention and a 25% boost in revenue.
FAQs
What is business finance and how can it help my company?
Business finance refers to funding solutions like loans, equipment finance, or cash flow lending designed to support growth, manage operations, or invest in new opportunities.
Is equipment finance only for large companies?
Not at all. Small businesses across Australia regularly use equipment finance to invest in essential tools, vehicles, or machinery without using up their cash reserves.
Can I still apply if my business has been operating for less than two years?
Yes. Many of our lending partners offer products specifically for newer businesses, depending on industry and turnover.
How long does it take to get approved?
It depends on the product, but we often secure approvals within 24 to 72 hours for many types of business finance.
