In this episode of Finance Specialist, Julian Barnes and Accendo Finance’s Trent Carter unpack what’s happening inside Australian businesses, from resilient revenue targets and shifting confidence to a growing focus on productivity, technology, and AI over simply adding capacity.
The pair explore what that changing approach means for SME finance, including how businesses are managing credit, cash flow, ATO debt, and their broader funding mix as they look to get their houses in order.
And for brokers, the bigger question is how to keep pace with those changing needs. Carter explains why the best opportunities can start with a simple conversation about what’s happening inside a business – and why understanding the problem may be more important than waiting for a client to ask for a loan.
