Finance as a tool for your business...
Are your current asset funding methods appropriate for the expected life of your business assets and how you intend to use them?
Financing can be an effective tool to apportion the acquisition cost of any asset over a term that is relative to the useful life of the asset. This can provide you with manageable monthly payments and preserve cash flow.
The choice of which is the most appropriate finance option comes mainly down to:
What you intend to use the asset for?
What is the useful life of the asset within your business (long or short life)?
Is ownership of the asset important to you?
The answers to these questions will help you to determine what finance option might suit best, whether it is a:
Loan product (generally more suited to longer life assets that earn you money) or a
Lease/Rental product (generally more suited to assets that depreciate very quickly)
In any event it is wise to choose a finance provider who will help you to understand the implications for your business
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.7% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
78.8% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
21.2% No. This would be impossible in practice.
