The challenge
A truck is only as good as the work behind it. Banks often look at a new subcontractor with a short ABN and stop there. Specialist asset lenders look further: your contract or letter of engagement, your experience behind the wheel and the income the truck will generate.
We know which lenders are comfortable with new ABNs, which will fund older trailers, and which will fund a private sale. That knowledge is usually the difference between an approval and a decline.

Ways to structure it
The right structure matters as much as the rate
Chattel Mortgage
You own the asset from day one and the lender takes security over it. Often used by GST-registered businesses that want to claim the GST and depreciation.
Finance Lease
The lender owns the asset and you lease it for an agreed term, with a residual at the end. Repayments are generally treated as a business expense.
Low Doc Finance
For established ABN holders whose tax returns are behind or do not reflect current trading. Assessed on BAS, bank statements or an accountant's declaration.
General information only. The best structure depends on your circumstances, so check tax implications with your accountant.

Questions
Transport & Truck Finance: common questions
Can I get truck finance with a new ABN?
Often, yes. Several lenders will consider a new ABN when you have relevant industry experience and a contract or letter of engagement. Expect a deposit or a slightly different structure while the business establishes a trading history.
Do you finance used trucks and private sales?
Yes. Age limits vary by lender, so we match the asset to a lender whose policy fits. Private sales need an independent valuation or inspection in most cases.
Can I finance a truck and trailer together?
Yes. A combination can sit under one agreement or two, depending on the assets and the lender. We will explain the trade-offs before you commit.
Will an enquiry affect my credit file?
An initial conversation does not. We only submit an application, which creates a credit enquiry, once you have agreed on the lender and structure.
