5 Broker News 16 September news/onerous- bank- terms- forcing- smes- to- find- alternative- finance aspx Australian SMEs are increasingly searching for alternative ways to finance their businesses, due to onerous and inflexible bank terms, according to new research. The report, published by The Invoice Market, revealed that two out of the three businesses surveyed said that a lack of finance was affecting their ability to grow. Tightening bank credit conditions and long payment terms are the main concerns for Aussie SME owners. Over half of the businesses surveyed (52%) are concerned that reforms to the banking sector are going to make it harder to get a loan, while almost three quarters (70%) said that very long payment terms were negatively affecting their cash flow. Angus Sedgwick, managing director or The Invoice Market says SMEs are now turning to alternative ways to finance growth, such as peer- to- peer and crowd- funded equity- raising. Just over 40% of the businesses in our survey said they d turn to traditional debtor finance, with its flexibility compared to bank finance being the key benefit, he said. But there are another 60% who wouldn t have access even to this type of factoring, due to requirements that their invoices be spread across a certain minimum number of clients or based on geographical limitations. These are good businesses, but their risk profile is just too high for the institutions. Agility and creativity are key to
6 servicing these businesses. Online models which connect businesses with investors are just one of the ways the issue is being addressed. Sedgwick says that tech- enabled finance alternatives available to Australians have doubled over the past two years, and is crucial for future innovation. The next boom in Australia could be driven by SMEs access to cash, he said.

7 home, says the study Cash Flow Issues Drive Aussie SMEs to Disruptive Solutions published by The Invoice Market. The move to disruptive financing models is a clear vote against the onerous and inflexible terms banks and other types of financing levy on SMEs, says The Invoice Market Managing Director Angus Sedgwick, who commissioned the survey, The internet is creating efficient markets. This is an exciting time to be in business in Australia. Business finance can be expensive, inflexible and unsuitable Just over 40% of the businesses in our survey said they d turn to traditional debtor finance, with its flexibility compared to bank finance being the key benefit, says Sedgwick, But there are another 60% who wouldn t have access even to this type of factoring, due to requirements that their invoices be spread across a certain minimum number of clients or based on geographical limitations.

Online models which connect businesses with investors are just one of the ways the issue is being addressed. It s the same story in loans. SMEs in the early growth phase don t meet the traditional debt funding qualification criteria, a situation which is only going to get worse if and when capital requirements increase. Fifty- two per cent of businesses told us they re worried about how changes to bank capital requirements might make it even harder to get funding. So they re looking to alternative forms of loan to fund their business. This is where peer- to- peer and crowd- funded equity- raising are really going to shine. Disrupters ramp up the pressure Disruptive platforms know that conditions are right for business to turn to them in droves. The number of disruptive finance providers entering the market has doubled over the last two years. With only 11% of businesses already looking to disruptive solutions, there s definitely room to grow. The next boom in Australia could be driven by SMEs access to cash, says Sedgwick. Key findings of the report include: Two out of three businesses said lack of financing was affecting their ability to grow 52% are concerned that reforms to the banking sector are going to make it harder to get a loan 70% said long invoice payment terms were negatively affecting their cashflow The number of tech- enabled disruptive financing instruments in Australia has doubled over the past two years 11% of SMEs are turning to disruptive financing instruments

For further information: Parnell McGuinness, ph , e parnell.mcguinness@thoughtbroker.com.au About The Invoice Market The Invoice Market is an online auction platform which creates an efficient marketplace for invoice factoring. The platform matches businesses requiring cash flow funding with Institutional and High Net Worth Sophisticated investors willing to provide working capital and cash flow finance. The Invoice Market launched in Australia in June 2014 and has funded over $10 million in invoices to date.
9 Finsia 16 September article/2014/09/15/are- banks- sending- smes- to- the- competition Are banks sending SMEs to the competition? by Robin Christie Sep 16, 2014 Frustrated Australian businesspeople are turning to disruptive finance solutions to find flexible loan terms, it has been claimed. According to new research from the Invoice Market, SMEs that struggle to access bank loans to solve common financing and cash flow problems are testing new offerings such as crowd sourcing. The move to disruptive financing models is a clear vote against the onerous and inflexible terms banks and other types of financing levy on SMEs, said the Invoice Market Managing Director Angus Sedgwick. The internet is creating efficient markets. This is an exciting time to be in business in Australia. He noted that 40 per cent of the survey's respondents would consider traditional debtor finance, but 60 per cent "wouldn t have access even to this type of factoring, due to requirements that their invoices be spread across a certain minimum number of clients or based on geographical limitations". These are good businesses, claimed Sedgwick, but they're being turned away from financial institutions because their risk profile is found to be too high.
10 Creative solutions What these businesses require, Sedgwick believes, are agile and creative finance options. And the internet is providing the platform for these innovative solutions to take a slice of the SME funding market. It s the same story in loans," he said. "SMEs in the early growth phase don t meet the traditional debt funding qualification criteria, a situation which is only going to get worse if and when capital requirements increase". And it would seem that SME owners are aware of the effect that any change in capital requirements could have on funding. Fifty two per cent of survey respondents stated that they were worried that it would become harder to get funding should more banking reforms come into effect. "They re looking to alternative forms of loan to fund their business. This is where peer to peer and crowd funded equity raising are really going to shine, said Sedgwick. Disruptive platforms know that conditions are right for business to turn to them in droves." Room for growth The disruptive finance market may have doubled in size in the last two years but, with survey responses suggesting that only 11 per cent of businesses are currently looking for disruptive solutions, Sedgwick said that there's definitely room for growth. "The next boom in Australia could be driven by SMEs access to cash, he said. According to the survey, ABS figures have revealed that almost 90 per cent of businesses that engage in innovative activity are small businesses. Meanwhile, these actively innovative businesses were twice as likely to seek finance as their non innovative counterparts. Other survey findings included: Two out of three respondents said lack of finance was affecting their ability to grow. 32 per cent said they would use their personal savings or equity in their family home to finance their business. Five per cent said they might be forced to close their businesses due to finance hurdles.

13 Recommendations The report was on the whole a success and attracted coverage in many of The Invoice Market s top targets, which it could not have afforded advertising space in. The Invoice Market is launched into the Australian market and has taken its place in journalists minds as a source of commentary and contribution on alternative finance and disruptive solutions. In order to consolidate these gains, Thought Broker recommends: A program of regular outreach in the financial press to weigh into debates over alternative/disruptive finance and capitalise on these opportunities to maintain salience for The Invoice Market s offering Case study outreach to industry media to create further penetration into lucrative verticals.
