Australian businesses are increasingly turning to financial brokers to navigate the complexities of debt management amid rising insolvency rates.
In November 2024, business insolvencies surged to 70% above the historical average, highlighting the urgent need for effective debt strategies.
Peter Arnold, director at GAP Business Loans, emphasizes the pivotal role brokers play in assisting businesses to restructure and optimize their debt portfolios. By conducting comprehensive reviews, brokers can identify opportunities to consolidate multiple debts into single loans with more favorable terms, thereby reducing monthly repayments and improving cash flow.
Beyond consolidation, brokers facilitate strategic deleveraging by negotiating better rates and terms, leveraging untapped equity in business assets, and providing ongoing education and support. This proactive approach not only addresses immediate financial concerns but also empowers businesses to build a more secure financial future.
For small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) facing financial stress, engaging with a knowledgeable broker can be a transformative step toward stability and growth. By leveraging their expertise, businesses can navigate debt challenges more effectively and position themselves for long-term success.
