Food trucks have become one of the fastest-growing segments of Australia’s hospitality industry. From street food and festivals to corporate catering, pop-ups and mobile cafés, food trucks offer a flexible, lower-overhead way to launch or expand a food business.
Asset Finance Partners provides specialist food truck finance in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, helping operators purchase new or used food trucks without large upfront capital costs. Our flexible asset-finance solutions allow businesses to get trading faster while preserving cash flow and supporting growth.

Why Finance a Food Truck?
Food trucks are income-generating assets but require significant upfront investment. Purchase costs typically range from $50,000 to $250,000+, depending on vehicle type, kitchen fit-out and equipment.
Financing a food truck instead of paying cash allows operators to:
Launch or expand without draining savings
Match repayments to trading income
Preserve working capital for ingredients, staff and marketing
Fit out the truck properly from day one
Upgrade vehicles as the business grows
Scale into multiple food trucks or locations
Manage tax more effectively (where eligible)
For most operators, food truck asset finance is the fastest and safest way to get on the road.
