Finding a suitable finance solution for your small business customers can be daunting. Take the stress out of it by choosing a partner that shares your values.
Four shields philosophy
At Odin Business Lending, we are all about prosperity. We treat it as respect for one another because at the end of the day, we are all family. Our values are printed across four shields that hang on the wall our head office: family, prosperity, integrity, and respect.
Family
There is a reason that family is the first of the four shields. The name Odin
comes from the Norse god, which at first may seem a world away from small business lending, but it helps underpin our philosophy. A key element in Norse battle tactics is known as the shield wall, the idea being that each soldier stands shoulder to shoulder, holding their shields so that they overlap and protect both themselves and their neighbour. The unit is held together as one and the burden shared among the group, creating a stronger whole than the sum of its parts.
That’s how we think of the Odin family, a unit working towards a shared goal. We see our clients, whether they are accountants or small businesses, as an extension of our family. Our goal is to find the solution that works best for your business, not our bottom line.
Prosperity
When Odin works with a small business to secure financing, the transaction is not the end goal. Instead, we are aiming to create prosperity. Businesses need financing for many reasons such as expansion, renovation, jumping on an opportunity, marketing, or to help cover the quiet season. Bank lending is getting tighter, leaving a huge portion of the small business market struggling with cash flow and searching for answers. At Odin, we provide you with the answers that help you prosper.
Integrity
Integrity is the cornerstone of our partnerships with small business owners and their accountants. Throughout the pandemic, accountants have strengthened their position as trusted advisers to Australia’s small businesses, helping them navigate the changing landscape at every turn. Odin offers a range of flexible lending options that don’t interfere with the important relationship you have with your SME client. Instead, we help service whatever cash flow needs your client might have.
We also have a team of lending specialists with decades of combined experience that are backed by a credit assessment team who understand all the intricacies of business finance.
Respect
The fourth of Odin’s shields is respect. It doesn’t matter what your individual circumstances are or what you need help with, at Odin we treat every application on its merits and do whatever we can to find a solution that works. There are many reasons why businesses can’t get funding through the banks. Approaching each new customer respectfully means we remain open minded and focused on delivering the best possible outcome. The best evidence of this is our 84 per cent approval rate. Try us and see for yourself.
