How Long Does Approval Take?
Our financing team is usually much faster than other lenders like banks. If you're an existing customer, we often can have it approved in 24-48 hours subject to credit checks and in accordance withe the responsible lenders code of New Zealand. We may give you the verbal OK over the phone within just a few hours. For larger sums of lending, we like to understand the purpose of the lending and how it will benefit your business.
Company Lending Versus Personal Lending
If you run a limited liability company, then most lending institutions are going to ask for a personal guarantee, which is only fair. Your business will usually be asked to supply a quick profit and loss report and sometimes a balance sheet to indicate that you have supporting revenues to make the required repayments. Once you have a great track record with us, we'll slot in as your long term financing partner whenever you need us. Personal loans are different; we simply look at someone's income versus their outgoings. In fact, lending for businesses is easier for us because we know that many applicants are savvy with money and have great ideas to capitalise on.
Business Finance NZ-wide
We are happy to lend to any businesses types in any location across New Zealand, provided you meet our lending criteria. We finance businesses in Bluff, right through to Auckland and above. No matter if you're a farmer, a tradie or a pencil pusher, we're happy to help.
Fast Business Finance
Alternate will give small business finance loans to help with the purchase of equipment, to assist with short-term cash flow hurdles, to assist in growth plans, property acquisitions and more assuming you pass our credit checks, lending criteria and in accordance with New Zealand's responsible ledning code. It's best that you fill in the application form online and then call us for a personal discussion.
Offsetting Tax
We're not accountants, so please seek expert advice. However, is of our opinion that purchasing an asset within a financial year that you've made considerable income could help offset some of the amounts you owe in taxes to the Inland Revenue Department. Of course, you'll need to balance the cost of repayments you'll need to make in the following financial year, but you can always pay the loan off sooner than the maximum term.
