ANZ

ANZ has a proud history of supporting franchising in New Zealand. Our nationwide team of Business Managers are committed to the development of the franchise sector as a whole and to the success of the business owners that drive it.

What an ANZ Business Manager can do for you:

• Work out the best way to fund your business. ANZ has a unique method of assessing franchise systems that mean for some franchises we can lend up to 60% of the value of the business based on its cashflow (or more if you have other security)
• Assess a franchise opportunity from a finance perspective before you purchase it
• Provide you with tools to prepare your personal financial statements, cash flow forecast, profit and loss statement, business plan and marketing plan
• Set up your merchant facilities such as EFTPOS. Because EFTPOS New Zealand is a wholly owned subsidiary of ANZ National Bank Limited, ANZ can offer you a true one-stop shop for your banking and merchant needs
• Set up all your transactional accounts and business credit cards
• Help ensure you have all the essential insurance in place to protect your assets and your business
• Help you with your personal as well as your business banking requirements, including personal cheque and savings accounts – one manager for both
• Help you set up payment systems for paying suppliers and wages. ANZ Internet Banking, Internet Banking for Business and ANZ Direct Online allow efficient and safe payment of your bills and wages
• Help finance plant, machinery, vehicles and equipment through UDC Finance Limited. Between ANZ and UDC, we can provide some extremely competitive plant financing packages
• If you are importing or exporting, they can bring in foreign exchange specialists to advise you
• Provide access to an ANZ Private Wealth Advisor to advise on how to invest the proceeds of your business, how to save for the future and even how to save in order to buy your business
• Provide access to an ANZ Business Risk Advisor to assist you to manage the ‘people risks’ in your business. They can assist you in preparing a ‘statement of advice’ to help you evaluate your existing arrangements and identify areas where you are exposed.

You can speak to an ANZ Business Manager at any point in the evaluation process - you don’t have to wait until you want a loan to call us. The earlier you speak to us, the more assistance we may be able to provide.
