BUSINESS LOAN BUILDS FANTASTIC PLASTIC BUSINESS

ROYSTON Kent and his business partner Bob Halsall have borrowed about $750,000 to spend on infrastructure for the plastics manufacturing B&C Plastics as they have grown the business over the past eight years.

Kent and Halsall were working for an opposition company when they decided to pool their combined 43 years’ experience in the industry to strike it out on their own.



“As the business grew, we outgrew the equipment and needed capital for the additional and larger machines we needed and when we looked for funding it was bank assistance which allowed us to purchase that equipment,” says Kent.



“As a rule we tend to look to pay them out at a zero balance at the end of the term,” says Kent.



“We thought it was the best way at the time to manage our cash flow while the business grew, as by paying smaller amounts up front we still had cash available.”



“In my experience, when you do pick up a lease for your equipment, it is preferable to have a zero balance at the end of the period. We didn’t do that and paid the minimum, but years down the track it is our long term strategy. Equip yourself so there is no residual to pay.”



“It is something we are passionate about and an industry we love. It is great to get out to Fraser Island or Moreton Bay and get out bush; we would like to connect that to our business passion,” says Kent.
