​

What Is Commercial Equipment Finance?

​

Commercial equipment finance is a funding solution that allows Australian businesses to purchase or upgrade equipment without paying the full cost upfront. Instead of tying up working capital, businesses spread repayments over an agreed term aligned to the equipment’s working life.

​

Commercial equipment finance may be structured as:

• Chattel mortgage

• Commercial equipment loan

• Finance lease

• Hire purchase

• Low-doc equipment finance (subject to lender policy)

​

Each commercial equipment finance structure is assessed individually to ensure compliance, affordability and lender alignment.

Commercial Equipment Finance Structures in Australia

​

Chattel Mortgage (Most Common Structure)

A chattel mortgage is one of the most widely used commercial equipment finance structures in Australia. Your business owns the equipment from settlement, while the lender takes security over the asset.

​

Commonly used for:

• Construction equipment

• Manufacturing machinery

• Transport equipment

• Income-producing plant

​

Commercial Equipment Loans

A commercial equipment loan provides straightforward funding with fixed or variable terms aligned to asset value and risk profile.

Used for:

• New and used equipment

• Dealer and private-sale assets

• Single or bundled equipment purchases

​

Finance Lease

A finance lease allows businesses to use the equipment while the lender retains ownership during the lease term. Suitable for certain accounting or cash-flow preferences.

​

Hire Purchase

Hire purchase structures allow staged ownership over time and may be appropriate depending on asset type and lender approval.

​

New & Used Commercial Equipment Finance

​

New Commercial Equipment Finance

We arrange commercial equipment finance for new equipment purchased through authorised dealers and manufacturers across Australia. Terms are aligned to equipment lifecycle and risk profile.

​

Used Commercial Equipment Finance

Used commercial equipment finance is available for dealer and private-sale equipment. Lenders assess:

• Asset age

• Condition

• Market value

• Remaining economic life

• Industry usage intensity

​

We structure commercial equipment loans carefully to ensure lender approval even for older or specialised assets.

​

Why Proper Commercial Equipment Finance Structuring Matters

​

Poorly structured commercial equipment finance can lead to:

• Declined equipment loan applications

• Higher interest rates

• Shorter-than-necessary terms

• Cash-flow strain

• Lender policy mismatches

​

Correct structuring ensures:

• Responsible lending compliance

• Realistic serviceability assessment

• Asset-life alignment

• Long-term sustainability

​

Commercial equipment finance is not just about approval — it’s about structuring the right solution.
