The importance of preparing for a cyber attack: Protecting your business from digital threats
In today’s digital age, cyber threats are one of the biggest risks facing businesses of all sizes. Cybercriminals are constantly developing new ways to infiltrate systems, steal sensitive data, and disrupt operations. From ransomware attacks to phishing scams and data breaches, the consequences of a cyber-attack can be devastating—resulting in financial losses, reputational damage, and operational downtime.

Top factors lenders assess in equipment loan applications
Ever wondered why some equipment finance applications are approved within a day, while others get delayed—or declined altogether?
The truth is that lenders aren’t just looking at one thing. They’re assessing your business from multiple angles—cash flow, asset type, ABN activity, and more. At PMG Finance, we’ve helped hundreds of Australian businesses—from tradies and contractors to farmers and fleet owners—get approved by presenting strong, well-prepared applications that tell your full story.
Here’s what we’ve learned about what lenders really want—and how you can improve your chances of a fast, stress-free approval.
Bundled equipment & technology finance: A smarter way to grow
When most businesses think about equipment finance, they picture the physical asset—like a truck, excavator, or tractor. But in today’s digital economy, the technology that supports your operations is just as important.
Many lenders now offer solutions for bundling equipment and technology into one integrated finance package or bundled finance solution. This can give your business a competitive edge.
