FAMILY HOME AT RISK?
Using the family home to secure business funding is how most businesses in New Zealand get started. Have you reviewed whether this is still necessary?
If your business has achieved scale, is highly profitable and generates strong and consistent cashflow we might be able to negotiate removal of the family home from the banks grasp without seeing any material change to a business’ cost of funding.
BUSINESS LOANS, WITHOUT THE PERSONAL GUARANTEE
In New Zealand it is incredibly common for directors and/or shareholder’s to provide their personal guarantees in order to secure business funding. When a business gains scale and has consistent and predictable profits this might no longer be required.
