Frequently Asked Questions

Topics that we get asked a lot

Absolutely. Getting pre-approval gives you a clear budget and stronger bargaining power when dealing with dealerships or private sellers. It typically lasts for 90 days, giving you the confidence to shop around knowing your financing is locked in.

With a secured loan, the asset you are buying (like a car or boat) acts as collateral for the loan. This generally means a lower interest rate. An unsecured loan doesn't require collateral, but the interest rate is usually higher because the lender takes on more risk.

You can do both. We finance vehicles and assets from licensed dealerships as well as private sellers. Private sales require a few extra checks to ensure the asset is clear of finance and legitimately owned, but we handle that paperwork for you.

Not necessarily. We know you spend your time on the tools, not doing admin. We offer Low-Doc (Low Documentation) finance options specifically for tradies. If you have a valid ABN, a clean credit history, and a few recent bank statements or an accountant’s declaration, we can often get you sorted without full tax returns.

We move fast because we know downtime costs you money. For standard vehicle and equipment finance, pre-approvals can often be secured within 24 to 48 hours, provided we have your basic business details.

Yes. Whether you are buying a brand-new excavator from a dealer or picking up a second-hand trailer or bobcat from a private seller on Marketplace, we can structure the finance. We will handle the background checks on private sales to make sure the asset is clear of encumbrances (money owing) before funds settle.

Yes. We offer Low-Doc (Low Documentation) commercial loans specifically for self-employed individuals and business owners whose financials aren't fully up to date. We can often use alternative verification methods, such as recent bank statements or a declaration from your accountant.

Almost any physical asset vital to your operations. This includes yellow goods (construction equipment), commercial vehicles, manufacturing machinery, IT infrastructure, and fit-outs. If it helps your business generate revenue, we can likely finance it.

Lenders view medical, dental, and veterinary professionals as low-risk borrowers. Because of this, we could unlock specialised policies that aren't available to the general public that is tailored to your needs.

Yes. We provide tailored structures for practice goodwill purchases, commercial property acquisition for your clinic, equipment financing (like X-ray or dental chairs), and working capital to manage cash flow during setup phases.

Lenders calculate how much you can borrow by evaluating your current income, what you already owe in terms of debt, how much you have saved for a deposit, and your creditworthiness. These are the factors that will decide what you can comfortably afford to repay.

The Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) is a calculation of how much of the asset price is covered by your loan. A higher LVR means you're borrowing a larger portion and typically have a smaller deposit. The LVR is calculated by dividing the loan amount by the asset's total value and expressing it as a percentage. Lenders use LVR to assess the risk of a loan – a lower LVR (hence larger deposit) generally indicates lower lending risk.

A credit score is your personal financial report card. It's a number that lenders use to assess how likely you are to repay debt, based on your past borrowing and repayment history. It summarises your creditworthiness and how responsible you have been in managing your credit, and it could influence whether lenders will approve your loan and at what interest rate.

Applying for a loan typically involves a few key steps. First, you'll need to gather your financial information, such as proof of income and identification. Then, we'll complete an application for you with a suitable lender. Once an application is lodged, the lender will then assess your application and creditworthiness before making a decision.
