START UP

The thrill of setting up a new business or buying an existing one is often offset by the thought that you will not be able to raise any form of finance for at least two years which is how long all the banks want you to wait. Lawrence Commercial has a loan product option that will cover this. This loan can help those people who have only recently started a business or began as a sub contractor. All you need is an ABN (Australian Business Number) or equity in the form of cash or property. Funds can be used for any (legal) purpose.

Lawrence Commercial can help tailor the correct facility to meet your specific borrowing needs. Contact Lawrence Commercial and find out how we can take care of your business financing needs.

 

   
working capital
     
 

BUSINESS WORKING CAPITAL

Working capital is used to cover everyday business expenses such as rent, utilities and wages. It indicates the liquidity of a business.

Working capital usually comes from a borrower's business cash flow. If a borrower has a new business, or if a business that operates in a seasonal industry, a borrower may need some assistance covering the day-to-day costs of running a business.

Cash flow finance or a business overdraft may assist to cover working capital requirements.

business purchase
     
 

PURCHASING A BUSINESS

When buying an existing business or well-known or successful business or franchise, there are a number of factors that need to be taken into consideration, including the business history, value of tangible assets, estimated value of intangible assets and the ability to earn a reasonable return on funds. A borrower may also need to consider the goodwill associated with the business.

A good history can be a positive factor when applying for finance. Generally, when purchasing an existing business a business loan or term loan will be utilised.

A borrower will need to work with Lawrence Commercial to ascertain the exact finance requirements and determine what is available to the borrower.

buying or investing
     
 

BUYING OR INVESTING IN PROPERTY

If it is of strategic importance to a business owner to be located in a specific area, a business owner may choose to purchase commercial premises rather than lease an office, warehouse or factory space. Owning the premises allows the borrower full control over the location and fit-out, and also provides an ongoing investment.

The business owner may also choose to invest in commercial property as part of a business strategy. Investing in commercial property works in a similar way to purchasing property for residential investment use.

A business or term loan is generally used to assist with the purchase of commercial property.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

Property development covers everything from buying a block of land and building a house on it, to renovating a property, to building a major CBD office building. Successful property development, no matter how big or small, involves good research and a certain element of calculated risk.

As with property investment, a good property development will target the right place and the right type of building for that area. Look out for what is needed, and then develop the building to suit. Knowing the development plans and regulations of the local Council will also assist a borrower.

Funding failure is one of the most common causes of failed developments, so it is crucial to get the property development finance right. Lawrence Commercial should be involved with the project right from the beginning, and it’s important to be aware that, particularly if the borrower is a first-time developer, they are likely to need some personal equity to use as security for your loan.
