Equipment & Asset Finance

The asset you want decides the lender. We work out which one before you commit.

We’ll plan around what you can borrow, what deposit you need and which lenders finance your asset type, so the purchase is funded without draining your savings for everything else.

A conversation, not an application. Tell us what you are buying and how you will use it.

Equipment and Asset Finance

Not Every Lender Finances Every Asset

Some are motor vehicle specialists. Others write commercial equipment, machinery or specialised industries. We start by working out which ones write yours, before anything else is discussed.

One File For All Your Needs

If we have already done your home loan or your commercial premises, we already have the structure. You won’t explain again from the beginning.

Secure Your Cashflow

Spreading the cost over an agreed term keeps capital available for what your lifestyle or business needs next.

Choosing Your Structure: Chattel Mortgage vs. Lease vs. Rental

How your finance is structured impacts your cash flow, ownership rights, and balance sheet. Deciding on a funding path isn't just about chasing the lowest interest rate; it’s about aligning the loan contract with your business asset replacement cycles.

Tax Treatment & The Instant Asset Write-Off

Financing an asset doesn't mean missing out on immediate tax incentives. Under current Australian tax frameworks, eligible businesses utilizing a chattel mortgage can frequently claim an immediate deduction for the full value of the equipment rather than depreciating it slowly over several years. We look past basic finance approvals to package your facility cleanly, ensuring your structure aligns perfectly with your accountant’s EOFY strategy to maximize your business cash flow from day one.

60+ lenders. 30+ years of knowing which ones to call.

“Without Finans Brokers guidance, advocacy and industry connections during our pre-approval and formal approval process I honestly do not think we would have had any success. I cannot recommend this team enough.”
