Chattel
Chattel Mortgage

With flexible loan terms and the option of a residual or balloon payment, a Chattel Mortgage is a great way to finance your next business equipment purchase. At the end of the contract, you can choose to refinance the residual, or trade-in your asset and upgrade your equipment. You’ll have ownership at the start of the contract, along with a range of tax benefits. Once the loan is paid out, the security interest will be removed giving you clear title over the asset.

✔ Tax deductions as the equipment is being used for business purposes
✔ Claim GST on the purchase price where applicable
✔ Fixed interest rates and monthly repayments
✔ Flexible contract terms

For more information about how a Chattel Mortgage could work for your business, give us a call today.

Equipment
Equipment Rental

Don’t want the hassle of ownership or simply need new equipment for a shorter period of time?

Equipment rental might be the solution you’re looking for. Under this finance arrangement, the lender buys the equipment on your behalf and rents it back to you for a set period of time. You’ll make regular set rental payments and at the end of the contract, either hand the equipment back with no more to pay, continue with the agreement, or buy the asset back at a set amount.

Benefits include:
✔ Flexible contract terms
✔ Fixed rental cost
✔ Rental payments can be claimed as a tax deduction
✔ Costs are known in advance, allowing for better budgeting
✔ Sits off-balance sheet freeing up other lending avenues

Equipment rentals cover a wide range of business needs, so whether you need new computers or earthmoving equipment, we can deliver a finance solution that suits you. Give us a call to discuss your options.

Benefits include:
✔ Flexible contract terms
✔ Potential tax deductions

Commercial hire
Commercial Hire Purchase

Covering all kinds of business equipment, a Commercial Hire Purchase allows you to hire the asset from the lender for a fixed monthly repayment over a set period.

You might also hear these commercial finance options referred to as corporate hire purchase, hire purchase or offer to hire. This structure of finance has more recently been replaced with the Chattel Mortgage product which offers similar benefits for businesses.
