Smart Funding Solutions for New Zealand Businesses

Your Funding Should Work For You—Not Against You

Are you relying on just one financial provider to fund your business? At Real Asset, we believe in helping New Zealand businesses build resilience by diversifying their funding sources. Just as you wouldn’t put all your investments in a single asset, it’s wise not to depend on one lender for your business finance.

Why Avoid Having “All Your Eggs in One Basket”?

Whether it’s customers, suppliers, or lenders, placing all your trust in a single party can expose your business to significant risk. If your sole funder changes their lending terms, tightens their criteria, or becomes less supportive, your entire operation could be left scrambling for solutions. Likewise, relying on one customer or supplier can be risky if they experience difficulties or change direction.

How Diversification Protects Your Business

• Reduces Risk: Spreading your business funding across multiple providers means you’re less likely to be caught off-guard by changes in the market or a lender’s policies.
• Tailored Solutions: Specialist funders can offer finance and leasing options designed specifically for your business assets and activities—whether you need working capital, equipment finance, property loans, or debt restructure and equity release.
• Flexible Repayment: Having access to different funding structures means you can match repayments with the actual economic life of your assets, rather than being forced into unrealistic schedules by a single lender.
• Better Cashflow: Diversified funding helps preserve your working capital, so you can meet ongoing costs like wages, insurance, technology, and compliance—keeping your business healthy and competitive.

Common Pitfalls of Single Source Funding

Single funders, such as traditional banks, sometimes shift their appetite for business lending depending on economic conditions or industry trends. When this happens, businesses can find themselves suddenly unsupported, struggling with tighter repayment demands, or unable to access new funding when needed. This can lead to issues like cashflow shortages, delayed tax payments, and additional stress for business owners.
