As we race towards the end of 2024, Andy Page of Seico Commercial reflects on the year…

This year in the business world, I think we would all agree that the only constant has been uncertainty.

One of my favourite quotes informs us that ‘Changes aren’t permanent, but change is’, and, to be honest, do any of us believe that next year will be any different?

For all that, this is the time when we think ahead to the New Year and what strategic change we may want to implement in our business life. Whatever that may be, there’s a strong chance it will require finance of one form or another. But what’s the best way of arranging that finance?

If you’re looking to buy a business premises, invest in property or to expand your business, here are five good reasons why talking to Seico Commercial Finance makes sense.

1. We have access to a wider range of lenders and financing options. At Seico I have relationships with numerous lenders and can find the best terms and rates for your specific business needs. This saves you time from having to shop around on your own.

2. Expertise and market knowledge. Brokers are experts in commercial financing, it is my job to stay up-to-date on the latest products, rates, and regulations. I can advise you on the pros and cons of different options.

3. Efficiency and convenience. A broker handles the loan paperwork, communication with lenders, and negotiations on your behalf. This streamlines the financing process.

4. Better terms. Brokers may be able to negotiate better interest rates or fees compared to what you could get directly from a lender and will go into bat on your behalf. My relationship with lenders provides leverage.

5. Unbiased guidance. As an independent third party, a commercial finance broker can provide unbiased recommendations on the best lending options for you. I am not tied to any one lender.

In summary, a commercial finance broker serves as an intermediary to simplify financing, leverage relationships with lenders, and ultimately help secure more favourable loan terms for your business. Arranging finance in this way can save you time and money.

Seico has been looking after clients successfully since 1991. If you have an idea which requires funding, please get in touch with me- there’s nothing to lose by having a discussion.
