Interest rate risk management

Interest payments are a major cost for many businesses. If an interest rate of 5% moves up just 0.5% it, that's a 10% increase in your interest costs. This higher expense can eat into profits and directly affect your cash flow.
Shifting interest rates are a risk to your business
If you're exposed to fluctuating interest rates, you have an interest rate risk. Interest rates on loans can change quickly affecting your cash flow, profitability and future plans. Interest rate risk management helps you offset the direct impact of adverse interest rate movements, and take advantage of favourable ones.
