Simply put, our aim is to give business owners a better chance of success.

www.scotpac.co.nz

Cash flow is by far the biggest stress point for business owners, whether you’re a business owner or an accountant, adviser or broker working with SME clients, the important thing to note is that unlike the inevitability of death and taxes, there are ways to improve working capital!

 

The cash flow squeeze is on, there’s no doubt.  The good news is that there are actions business owners can take to maximise their cash flow.  There is a style of finance that, allows you to boost cash flow and relieve the worries, pressure and stress related to day to day financing of the business.  Invoice finance (also known as debtor finance or receivables finance) is a line of credit that smooths out cash flow peaks and troughs for businesses that sell goods or services on credit terms.

 

Invoice finance means that you receive an advance on invoices already owed, and your funding grows in line with sales.  A business can boost turnover by bringing cash receipts forward, using a line of credit linked to and secured by outstanding accounts receivable.

 

It’s all about having flexible working capital to support the business, so that the business owner is not wasting valuable hours fretting over bills and unpaid invoices. 

 

Whether the business is looking to expand, boost working capital, improve your day to day cash flow or even buy a business, our range of debtor finance and trade facilities can help you

The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new. Level up and grow.

Catherine Sherwood, Director,

The Engine

Are you ready to Grow Your Business? 

 

As an entrepreneur, you tend to think outside the box and can spot new opportunities arising from market penetration to business expansion. It isn’t just a gut instinct – you can see clear indicators that your company is growing, your cash-flow is strong, the demands for your products and services are rising – all positive signs that business growth is within your reach.

 

If you manage this well, your profits will increase thereby putting you in an even stronger position.

 

However, while all this sounds good the reality is many business owners while having best intent are instead working within their business fire-fighting and running from one issue to another, because the business is so reliant on the business owner.  Many also feel they are flying the flag alone, not knowing how to change what feels like a continuous ground-hog day.

 

Catherine Sherwood and her team have walked in your shoes and continues to do so as a Business Owner.  They have a solid track record in helping SMEs across New Zealand (as their Business Advisor) grow their businesses and if you are serious about growth, they will challenge you to step off the merry go round to climb the mountain.

 

The Engine’s Advisor’s have seen many Business Owners rush into business growth without much reflection, causing them headaches down the line. By being diligent, using solid data, setting benchmarks and having an honest discussion with your Advisor (working collaborative with The Engine’s partners) to access your options for business growth – chances are, you will come up a champion.

 

Her approach gets to the heart of any issues, thereby proving valuable in your business growth plan.

 

” I regard Catherine as a partner in my business, someone I can share confidential information with, trust to deliver areas within our business with our best interest and know she enjoys seeing our success. We look forward to our continued partnership with Catherine.”   Alex Su, Director – iRelax
