What Is Asset Finance?

Asset finance allows your business to acquire essential equipment, vehicles, machinery, and technology without paying the full cost upfront. Instead, the cost is spread over the asset's useful life through regular, manageable repayments.

  • Acquire assets without large upfront capital outlay
  • Spread costs over the asset's useful life with regular repayments
  • Several finance structures available — each with different ownership, tax, and cash flow implications
  • We compare options from over 30 specialist lenders to find the most suitable arrangement for your business

What Can You Finance?

From small business vehicles to heavy industrial machinery, asset finance covers a wide range of business needs.

Vehicles

Cars, utes, vans, trucks, and fleet vehicles — new or used. Whether it's a single company car or an entire fleet, we can help find a competitive option.

Heavy Equipment

Excavators, forklifts, cranes, loaders, and construction machinery. Finance the heavy assets that power your operations.

Manufacturing

CNC machines, food processing equipment, printing presses, and packaging lines. Keep your production running with the latest machinery.

Technology

Computers, servers, POS systems, medical imaging equipment, and office technology. Stay competitive with up-to-date tech.

Medical Equipment

Dental chairs, X-ray machines, ultrasound units, physiotherapy and veterinary equipment for healthcare professionals.

Agricultural

Tractors, harvesters, irrigation systems, and more — with seasonal repayment options that align with your farming cycle.

Finance Structures Explained

Choosing the right finance structure can significantly impact your tax position, cash flow, and asset ownership. Here's a guide to the main options.

Ownership from Day 1

Chattel Mortgage

You own the asset from day one. Claim GST on purchase, plus depreciation and interest deductions. The lender holds a mortgage over the asset as security.

Most suitable for GST-registered businesses
Ownership at End

Hire Purchase

The lender owns the asset until the final payment is made. You can claim depreciation and interest deductions throughout the term.

Good for businesses wanting ownership at the end
100% Deductible

Finance Lease

The lender owns the asset throughout the term. Repayments are 100% deductible as an operating expense, keeping the asset off your balance sheet.

Most suitable for fast-depreciating assets
Like Renting

Operating Lease

Similar to renting — enjoy lower repayments and return the asset at the end of the term. Ideal for assets you plan to upgrade regularly.

Most suitable for tech or vehicles you'll upgrade
Startup-Friendly

Rent-to-Own

Make rental payments over the agreed term, with full ownership transferred to you at the end. A flexible path to owning key assets.

Most suitable for startups or limited deposit scenarios
Maximum Flexibility

Commercial Loan

A secured or unsecured business loan to purchase the asset outright. Offers maximum flexibility in how you acquire and use the asset.

Most suitable when you need complete flexibility
Important: Tax treatment depends on your specific circumstances. We recommend discussing the most suitable structure with your accountant before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about asset finance, answered by our experienced brokers.

How quickly can I get approved for asset finance?

Many asset finance applications are approved within 24–48 hours. Some lenders even offer same-day approval for eligible applicants with straightforward applications and strong financials. The exact timeline depends on the complexity of your application and the documentation provided.

Can I finance used equipment?

Yes, most lenders on our panel are happy to finance quality used assets. The asset typically needs to be no older than 10–15 years at the end of the loan term, though exact limits vary by lender and asset type. We can help find a lender that suits your specific situation.

What deposit do I need for asset finance?

Many asset finance options are available with zero deposit. However, providing a deposit of 10–20% may help you qualify for more competitive interest rates and improved loan terms. We can explore a range of options based on your budget and preferences.

Is asset finance tax deductible?

Tax treatment depends on the finance structure you choose. For example, with a chattel mortgage you can typically claim depreciation and interest deductions. A finance lease may be fully deductible as an operating expense. We strongly recommend discussing the most suitable structure with your accountant to understand the tax implications for your specific circumstances.

Can startups get asset finance?

Yes, some lenders on our panel specialise in startup finance. Approval is typically assessed based on the asset's value, your personal financial position, and the strength of your business plan. We can help match you with lenders who understand the needs of new businesses.

What about seasonal businesses?

Some lenders offer seasonal repayment structures that align with your business cash flow cycles. This means you can make higher repayments during peak revenue periods and lower repayments during quieter months — helping you manage cash flow more effectively throughout the year.

Does using a broker cost me anything?

There is no fee charged to you — we are paid a commission by the lender when your finance settles. Our service is designed to help you compare options from multiple lenders at no direct cost, so you can make a more informed decision.

Can I finance multiple assets at the same time?

Yes, we can arrange finance for multiple assets simultaneously. This is common for businesses that are expanding operations or upgrading several pieces of equipment at once. We can structure the finance to cover all your assets in a single or multiple facilities, depending on what's most suitable.
