Are you a small business owner? You’re probably facing a credit crunch as banking regulations have tightened due to the Royal Commission’s highly legalistic interpretation of responsible lending laws.

According to the Financial Review (Sep 2018), The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority is forcing banks to apply tougher tests on borrowers’ income and expenses, also delaying the time it takes for loans to be approved.

Mark McKenzie, chief executive of the Australian Convenience and Petroleum Marketers Association said to the Financial Review “Loan-to-valuation ratios (LVR) offered by banks to small firms in his sector has been slashed in half. About a year ago, small service station operators could attain an LVR of up to 75 percent. At the moment no one can get an LVR over 30 percent.”

That being said, small business owners need to look at alternative financing options to sustain their cash flow.
