Compare equipment and asset finance

Equipment finance lets you acquire machinery, tools, technology and other business assets while spreading the cost over the asset's working life. The asset itself usually acts as security, which keeps pricing sharper than unsecured lending.

How equipment & asset finance works

The main structures in Australia are the chattel mortgage, where you own the asset from day one, and the finance lease, where the lender owns it and you pay to use it. Each has different tax and GST treatment, so it is worth checking with your accountant.

You choose the asset and supplier. The lender funds the purchase and takes security over the asset. You repay over a set term, often with an optional balloon or residual payment at the end to reduce regular repayments.

Who it suits

  • Buying new or used machinery and equipment
  • Upgrading technology or fit-out
  • Preserving cash for operating costs

What lenders look at

  • Type, age and resale value of the asset
  • Time trading and ABN age
  • Credit history
  • Deposit or trade-in

Things to watch

  • A balloon lowers repayments but leaves a lump sum at the end.
  • GST and depreciation treatment differs between structures. Ask your accountant.

Equipment & Asset Finance: common questions

What is a chattel mortgage?

A chattel mortgage is a loan to buy an asset, where you own the asset from the start and the lender takes a mortgage over it until the loan is repaid.

Can I finance used equipment?

Many lenders fund used equipment, though limits on asset age and type vary. Check each product's details or ask us to find a lender that suits your asset.
