Things worth knowing

The asset is usually the security

That often means a lower rate than unsecured business lending.

Newer businesses have options

Some lenders accept a shorter trading history, sometimes with a larger deposit or a lower loan amount.

Tax treatment depends on the structure

Whether you can claim depreciation, interest or GST credits depends on the structure. Ask your accountant before you sign.

Balloons lower repayments

But they leave a lump sum at the end of the term, so plan for it.

Documents you'll usually need

  • ABN details and how long you've been trading
  • Recent BAS or business financials
  • Business bank statements
  • The supplier's quote or tax invoice
  • Photo ID for directors

We'll confirm exactly what your lender needs, so you don't gather anything twice.

Questions

A loan where your business owns the asset from the start, and the lender holds it as security until the loan is repaid.

Can a new business get equipment finance?

Often, yes. Some lenders accept less than two years of trading history, sometimes with a larger deposit.

Can I claim equipment finance costs?

Often, but it depends on the structure and your business. Your accountant can tell you how it applies to you.
