SMEs flock to brokers for equipment financing

SMEs flock to brokers for equipment financing

(15 June 2010 – Australia) The majority of Micro and SME businesses continue to use third party brokers with respect to sourcing their equipment finance requirements, according to East & Partners' latest Australian Asset and Equipment Finance Markets report.
  • almost two thirds of Micro and SME businesses now use a broker to source their equipment finance needs, a number that continues to rise

  • in stark contrast this, only a quarter of corporate businesses and a little over 5 percent of institutional businesses use the broker channel

Interestingly, the Big Four’s share of the asset finance market in the Micro and SME segments is considerably less compared to the market penetration they achieve with those businesses that form the Corporate and Institutional segments.
