In this episode of Finance Specialist, host Julian Barnes sits down with Trent Carter from Accendo Financial to unpack Australia’s latest inflation figures and explore what ongoing macroeconomic headwinds mean for commercial borrowers and brokers alike.
The discussion delves into the psychological and cash flow impacts of rate hikes, how rising transport, fuel and labour costs are compressing margins, and why lenders closely monitor whether a business is actively managing its overheads or simply hoping for relief.
Tune in to discover how and why brokers should be running “what if” stress tests to present robust, compelling credit cases to lenders for their SME clients.
