Equipment Finance Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for equipment finance in Australia, most lenders will require:

  • An active ABN
  • Proof of identity
  • Evidence of business income or cash flow
  • An acceptable credit profile

Lenders may also assess factors such as time in business, industry type, and financial performance when determining suitability for finance.

For self-employed borrowers, low-doc equipment finance options may be available, with some lenders accepting alternative income verification such as BAS statements or bank statements.

Equipment Loan Interest Rates in Australia

Interest rates for equipment finance in Australia can vary depending on the lender, your business profile, and how the loan is structured. Key factors that may influence the rate offered include:

  • Business turnover and cash flow
  • Time in business
  • Credit history
  • Loan amount and term
  • Type and value of the equipment

Equipment finance is typically structured as a secured loan, with the asset used as collateral. This can support access to competitive interest rates and flexible lending options tailored to business needs.

What is Equipment Finance?

Equipment finance is a type of funding designed to help businesses acquire tools, machinery, and equipment needed for day-to-day operations. It allows you to spread the cost over time through structured repayments, rather than using working capital upfront.

In Australia, equipment finance can be arranged through banks, specialist lenders, or a finance broker. The loan structure, interest rate, and approval process will vary depending on factors such as your business profile, cash flow, credit history, and the type of equipment being purchased.

Equipment finance provides a flexible way to invest in business assets, with loan structures tailored to support productivity, efficiency, and growth.

How Does Equipment Finance Work In Australia?

Equipment finance allows businesses to access funding to purchase equipment and repay the amount over an agreed term, typically between one and seven years. Repayments can be structured weekly, fortnightly, or monthly to align with your business cash flow.

Once approved, the lender pays the supplier directly, and the equipment is acquired for business use. You then begin repayments in line with the loan agreement.

Equipment finance is typically structured as a secured loan, with the asset used as collateral. This can help reduce the lender’s risk and support access to competitive lending options.

Frequently asked questions!

How much can I borrow for car finance?

  • Loan amounts typically range from $5,000 to over $250,000 depending on your financial position and lender policy.

Can I get car finance with bad credit?

  • Yes, it may still be possible to obtain car finance even if you have a poor or impaired credit history. Some specialist lenders assess applications based on your current financial position rather than past credit issues alone.

Can I Refinance a car loan?

  • Yes. Car loan refinancing allows you to replace your existing loan with a new one, potentially with a lower interest rate, reduced repayments or a different loan term.

Can I finance a private sale vehicle?

  • Yes.
  • We can assist with:
  • Dealership purchases
  • Private sales
  • Interstate purchases
  • Auction purchases

Can I get car finance with no deposit?

  • Yes. Many lenders allow car finance with a low deposit or, in some cases, no deposit at all. However, the deposit amount can influence your loan-to-value ratio (LVR), interest rate and approval outcome. Providing a deposit may reduce your repayments and the total interest payable over the life of the loan.

Is car finance tax deductible in Australia?

  • Car finance may be tax deductible if the vehicle is used for business purposes. Interest charges and certain loan-related expenses can sometimes be claimed as business deductions, depending on your circumstances.

    Eligibility depends on factors such as business use percentage and loan structure. You should seek advice from a qualified accountant regarding your specific situation.
