Do cheap interest rates equate to smart finance structures?
We all understand that buying cheap does not always equate to the best value purchase but when it comes to finance, the interest rate is often the primary focus and this can lead to poor customer outcomes. This is because finance can be complex and other more important factors like structure, terms and conditions can have a much greater impact on cash flow than interest rate.
It’s very common to see businesses with cash flow issues that have poor asset finance structures as the primary cause for this. This is because it is now hard for Customers to make a value judgement when choosing a finance provider as finance has become a commoditized product where the interest rate is the perceived point of differentiation.
