Finance — Business & equipment

Business Loans & Equipment Finance

Funding the business itself uses to operate and grow — equipment and vehicle finance, working capital, overdrafts, lines of credit and invoice finance — scoped against the business cash flow by a Credit Representative who is also a Chartered Accountant. Lender policy applies; any approval depends on the lender.

What we scope

The funding a business actually uses.

Business finance covers a range of facilities for the operating business — distinct from commercial property lending and from a director's personal home loan. The categories below are the ones we most often scope; each is assessed on its own facts before any lender is approached.

Equipment & vehicle finance

Chattel mortgage · hire purchase · lease

Acquiring vehicles, machinery, fit-out or technology paid over time rather than in one outlay. We scope the structure — chattel mortgage, hire purchase or lease — against the cash flow and the tax and GST treatment, since the structure changes how the asset is treated as well as the repayment.

Working capital & unsecured loans

Business cash flow · trading history

Term and unsecured business loans assessed on the strength of the business cash flow and trading history rather than property security. Pricing and limits are tighter than secured lending because the lender carries more risk; policy varies materially between lenders.

Overdraft & line of credit

Flexible limit · short-term cash flow

Revolving facilities for the natural ups and downs of trading — drawn when needed, repaid as cash comes in. Suited to managing timing gaps rather than funding a structural shortfall. We confirm the facility fits the cash-flow pattern before recommending it.

Invoice & trade finance

Debtor finance · supply chain

Advancing against unpaid customer invoices, or supporting the purchase of stock and goods, for businesses carrying long payment terms. Cash-flow tools that suit some businesses and not others — we assess fit rather than defaulting to them.

Refinance of existing business debt

Review · restructure · consolidate

Reviewing existing business facilities where the margin has drifted, the structure no longer fits, or several facilities could be simplified. The current position is compared against current-market alternatives in writing, including the costs of switching.

Structure & tax coordination

Same practitioner · accounting in view

Because the same practitioner handles the accounting, the finance is scoped with the tax and GST treatment in view, and the application is built off the actual financials. General information on the tax side; the detail is confirmed through the accounting engagement.

Process

From scoping call to a settled facility — a document-driven sequence.

Business finance moves at the pace of lender policy and documentation. The steps below are the rhythm we follow — every milestone confirmed in writing.

Scoping call

The purpose of the funds, the amount, the asset or cash-flow need, the borrower entity, existing facilities and timing. We confirm whether business finance is the right tool — and which type — before going further.

Document collection

Business financials and tax returns, current management accounts or BAS, asset-and-liability statement, details of the asset or the invoices, and identification. We confirm the exact list against the shortlisted lender.

Position review

Servicing position, target lender or financier shortlist, facility structure and indicative costs — documented in writing before any application, including the tax and GST considerations to confirm with the accounting side.

Application

Application submitted to the shortlisted lender or financier. The lender applies its own credit and policy assessment. We track and report progress at each milestone.

Approval & documentation

Conditions resolved, approval obtained, and finance documents prepared. For asset finance, settlement is coordinated with the supplier or dealer.

Settlement & review

The facility settles or the asset is acquired. We diarise any review or expiry date so the facility is revisited before it lapses or the structure stops fitting.

Frequently asked questions

Business & equipment finance — common questions.

These are three distinct things. Commercial lending is about commercial property and larger commercial facilities — buying business premises or a commercial investment, assessed against the property and the business. A business owner home loan is a personal home loan for someone whose income comes through a company or trust. This page covers the funding the business itself uses to operate and grow: equipment and vehicle finance, working capital, overdrafts and invoice finance. If your need is a commercial property purchase, the commercial lending page is the right place; if it is a personal home loan, the business owner home loan page fits; this page is for the business borrowing itself.
