We understand that investing in your business with heavy plant and industrial equipment can come at great cost.  

You do not need to have available cash in the bank to make an outright purchase on commercial assets. 

Even if you can afford it, investing cash may leave you with less working capital to finance operations or explore new growth opportunities.  

That’s where Equipment Finance comes in, allowing you to arrange repayments to suit your cash flow. You may also be in a position to claim tax deductions. 

For example, regardless if you need one vehicle or a fleet of vehicles to keep your business operational, it’s not necessary to pay upfront.  

You might consider a range of vehicle finance options, from an equipment loan or hire purchase to a finance lease.  

At 1800Approved our financial experts can help find the best solution and find you a loan without disrupting your cash flow or liquidity. 

Secured VS Unsecured

Secured Equipment Loan

Use an asset to secure the loan. This asset is then used as a kind of security against the loan.  If at any time you are unable to repay the loan, the lender may be able to use your security asset to recuperate the difference.   

Unsecured Equipment Loan

The lender requires no security for the debt. The loan is still subject to your ability to repay it. The interest rates on unsecured loans are higher on average than secured loans, which offsets the increased risk of losing money for the lender. 

When applying for an equipment loan, be it secured or unsecured, you should always check the information with your Financial Broker.

Chattel Mortgage

Definition

A Chattel mortgage is much like a secured equipment loan for assets purchased for business use. The lender takes a ‘mortgage’ over the asset as security for the loan. Once the repayments are completed at the end of the repayment term, you’ll own the asset outright. 

Benefits

  • Low-interest rate possibilities as it is a secured loan. 
  • 100% finance options may apply 
  • Flexible lease terms from 12 to 84 months  
  • The potential to claim Input Tax Credits if you are registered for GST

Hire Purchase

Definition

A commercial hire purchase loan is a way to finance buying new or used equipment. You are normally required to pay a deposit and pay off the value of the asset in monthly instalments, with the loan secured against the asset. At the end of the agreed term, and all payments are made, the asset becomes yours. A good option for business. 


 

Benefits

  • As low as 10% deposit. (100% financing option is also available) 
  • You have the flexibility of low or fixed interest rate options 
  • You can select flexible lease terms from 12 to 60 months 
  • Available on equipment, or new and used car purchases

Equipment Leasing

Definition

Under this agreement, you use the equipment while the lender retains ownership of the asset. At the end of the term, you have the option to buy the equipment or trade it in for a newer model. Talk with us for more information about leasing a car in Australia. 

 

Benefits

  • Tax-deductible for business owners 
  • The equipment is ours and there are no restrictions on who can use it 
  • You can select flexible lease terms from 12 to 60 months 
  • You have the option to upgrade your car at the end of your lease term

A balloon payment allows you to reduce your repayments during the term of the car loan by making a once-off lump sum payment at the end of your loan. For example, if you were to take a $30,000 loan over five years with a 30% balloon, your regular repayments at a comparison rate of 8.10% would drop from $609.73 per month to $467.24 per month with the addition of a $9,000 lump sum payment due with your final payment. 
Balloon payments are available for cars that are up to five years of age. We will contact you within the last six months of your loan term to discuss your payment options. Your payment options could include re-financing the balloon amount in a new car loan. Alternatively, you could pay this balloon payment from your own funds.
