Smart Business Finance - Insurance Premium Funding & ATO Debt

Most business owners don’t realize they can finance their insurance premiums instead of paying monthly with extra fees – and still get the full-payment discount.

That’s where Insurance Premium Funding (IPF) comes in, and it’s a game-changer for cash flow.

We’re also diving into a big one – ATO debt. If you owe the ATO, can you still get finance? How does it impact borrowing? And what are your options if the banks say no?

We break it all down – from smart lending strategies to why the right broker makes all the difference. Tune in!
