THE OXFORD ADVANTAGE
TRUE NON-RECOURSE FACTORING SUCCEEDS IN AUSTRALIA
Oxford Funding’s Invoice Xcelerator product released last
year has proven a big success. The company is at the forefront
of the Australian Debtor Finance industry and has thoroughly researched
what is available overseas and then introduced the product into
Australia. It is unique to Oxford Funding and is true non-recourse
factoring.
Invoice Xcelerator is a financial solution to
a business’ working capital and trade credit insurance needs.
It provides 90 percent funding against Accounts Receivable and
then assumes the risk of the customers not paying.
If the customers cannot pay, Oxford Funding takes
the risk. As well as providing cash flow, this new product provides
an alternative to trade credit insurance without annual premiums,
no excesses nor long term contracts.
Invoice Xcelerator is available with flexibility
where the facility grows with the individual business paying for
only what is needed, whether this is to be used regularly, irregularly
or a once-off. Clients choose which invoices they require funding
and credit protection.
‘The success of this new product reflects
an overseas trend which we introduced into Australia,’ says
Oxford Funding’s Rob Lamers. ‘Non-recourse factoring
in this form has been very popular in the US and Europe, and now
local Australian businesses are accessing the product.
‘The advantages of Invoice Xcelerator include
true flexibility where we can provide funding and credit protection
against just one or all of a company’s customers.
‘The success of Invoice Xcelerator is due
to the way it meets demand and its popularity is reward for the
innovation we applied by thoroughly researching it in the US.’
Lamers said.

BUSINESS NEWS
OIL RISE DOUBLE HIT
Many analysts are becoming more vocal about the damage to the
economy from the continually rising price of oil. This week, the
price broke the $US70 per barrel mark. The wide-ranging effects
include the much higher price of petrol taking spending away from
many areas of the economy and the cost of oil imports to our already
weak balance of payments as our oil self-sufficiency slides.
TAX REDUCTIONS LIKELY
Various business groups are now using all avenues to pressure
for tax reform in the run-up to the federal budget. They are using
figures like Australia has the third highest corporate tax rates
in the OECD. So far, the Treasurer is predictably resisting promises
but has indicated tax reform is high on his list of priorities
which he can afford to deliver.
PUBLIC SECTOR DROPS
A fascinating new statistic for those interested in where our
taxes go is how public sector employment has shrunk. In the past
20 years the public sector level of employment has reduced by
over 900,000. Taking federal, state and local governments together,
the public sector has fallen from 26 percent to 16 percent of
total employment.
