About The Green

Hosted by Alex Russell, a business lending specialist, golf enthusiast, father of 1 and on a mission to make finance make sense

Currently backed by Scotpac. About the Green is proudly filmed with business owners, brokers, bankers, accountants and other New Zealand finance professionals - one hole at a time.

A marketing poster for Invoice Finance with a green and beige color scheme. The text says: 'If you’re hearing this from your clients... you’ve found a deal.' It includes quotes about client payment issues, such as 'The bank won’t increase our overdraft,' 'We’re doing the work, but not getting paid fast enough,' 'I’m waiting on a few big payments,' 'My clients are good payers, they’re just slow,' and 'We just need short-term help to cover staff and expenses.' The poster promotes Invoice Finance as a solution to unlock cash tied up in receivables without touching property or taking on long-term debt, and encourages recipients to contact the issuer if clients express such concerns.

“If you’re hearing this from your clients...
we could be the solution!”
