The Pros of Fixing Rates 1. Risk Management: Every business owner has a different tolerance for risk. Fixing your interest rates can offer peace of mind, allowing you to sleep easier at night knowing that your costs won’t spike unexpectedly. 2. Stable Cost Base: By locking in rates, you create a more predictable cost environment, which can lead to better financial planning and decision-making for your business. 3. Protection Against Rate Increases: Fixing your rates shields your business from the potential upper-side risks associated with variable rates. If interest rates rise, your costs remain stable, protecting your bottom line. The Cons of Fixing Rates 1. Lack of Flexibility: Fixed rates often come with restrictions. If your business has surplus funds, you may not be able to offset those fixed rates as easily as with variable rates. 2. Impact on Succession Planning: If you’re planning for business succession, long-term fixed rates might complicate the process. It’s important to consider how these rates align with your future business plans. 3. Expansion Limitations: Fixed rates can also hinder your ability to expand. If your current bank can’t support your growth, the opportunity cost of being locked into a fixed rate may outweigh the benefits. 4. Bank Motivations: Lastly, consider whether your bank is encouraging fixed rates to genuinely support your business, or simply to secure you as a long-term client. It’s crucial to evaluate their intentions. Read the full blog post here: https://lnkd.in/gd8fPNPU

We had an awesome couple of days with the team at Henty Field Days! This year's big topics were the effects of a dry August and a few frosty days, putting some pressure on the season ahead. We’re expecting working capital to be a major focus in the coming months. We’ve also had valuable discussions around bank services, interest rates, and succession planning. It was fantastic to catch up with our clients, meet new faces, and connect with everyone.

To Fix or Not to Fix: Navigating the Interest Rate Dilemma as a Business Owner In today’s financial landscape, you’re likely receiving numerous calls from bankers and so-called “interest rate specialists” urging you to fix your rates. As longer-term fixed rates continue to decline, the decision to lock in a rate or stay variable is more pressing than ever. But before making this crucial choice, there are several factors to consider. https://lnkd.in/gd8fPNPU
