Asset Finance

Finance for vehicles, tools and equipment.

Compare business asset loans before accepting a supplier or dealer quote.

Who it is for

This loan may suit:

  • Trades and service businesses needing vehicles, tools, or equipment
  • Manufacturing and industrial operations buying production machinery
  • Growing businesses scaling capacity with structured asset funding
  • Transport and Western Sydney owner-operators comparing truck, trailer, ute, or commercial vehicle finance
  • Professional services needing specialised equipment or technology

Process

What happens next

  1. 1
    Define the asset and its purpose

    Type, value, condition, new or used, and how it contributes to your revenue.

  2. 2
    Choose the right structure

    Chattel mortgage, finance lease, operating lease, or secured loan - we match the structure to your tax position and ownership goals.

  3. 3
    Compare asset-specific lenders

    Some lenders specialise in vehicles, others in machinery or industrial equipment. We find the right fit.

  4. 4
    Structure repayments around cash flow

    Monthly, seasonal, or structured - we design repayments that don't stress your operations.

Prepare once. Make a more informed choice.

What to have ready

  • Recent business financial statements or performance records
  • Last 6-12 months of business bank statements
  • Asset details - type, value, condition, new or used, and a supplier quote
  • Details of all existing business financial commitments
  • Cash flow evidence showing your capacity to service repayments
  • Clear explanation of how the asset will be used and its revenue contribution

Requirements vary by lender. Please use the enquiry form for contact details only; your broker can explain how to provide documents securely.

What to watch out for

  • Choosing a standard monthly repayment structure when seasonal or structured options suit your business better
  • Using a general-purpose loan instead of asset-specific finance, which often costs more
  • Not checking used asset policy - some lenders won't finance assets over a certain age
  • Not understanding end-of-term implications for finance leases

Questions about asset finance

What's the difference between a chattel mortgage and a finance lease?

With a chattel mortgage, you own the asset from the start and it appears on your balance sheet. With a finance lease, the lender owns the asset and you lease it - the asset may or may not be on your balance sheet depending on the structure.

Can I finance used equipment?

Yes, but some lenders have age and condition limits on the assets they'll finance. We'll match you with lenders who accept your specific asset.

How are repayments structured?

They can be monthly, quarterly, seasonal, or custom-structured to match your revenue patterns. We design repayments that fit your actual cash flow, not a generic schedule.

What happens at the end of a finance lease?

You typically have three options: pay a residual to own the asset, refinance the residual, or return the asset. We make sure you understand the end-of-term position before you sign.
