What are the General Rules of Thumb when Financing a Truck?

• If it is a new start business most financiers require a 20% deposit, however we offer “no deposit truck finance” options for both new starts and existing businesses.
• No proof of income is required where:
  1. Applicant has had ABN for 2 years
  2. Purchasing a new or used truck through a dealer
  3. Loan amount is under $300k
  4. Replacement commitment whereby the new loan amount is not more than 25% higher than the original loan.
• Low Doc and No Doc Finance are becoming a trending form of financing, mitigating the requirement for accountant prepared financials.
• The best finance rates are offered on a Truck that is no older than 5 years old at time of purchase. Older Trucks can also be financed but payments will be higher based on the increased risk of an older asset.
• Better finance packages can be offered to those that have been in business for many years, have 2 years financial statements and are asset backed.
• Transactions through a dealer involve less paperwork and settle quicker than if the Truck is purchased privately.
• It is harder to source finance approvals if an applicant’s credit history is adversely affected.
• Sometimes a risk premium can be added to client’s interest rate if the deal is deemed marginal based on servicing or risk of the particular age or type of Truck.

How Does the Process Work When Financing A Truck?

Step 1

Client to complete online pre-approval form or have a short 5-minute conversation with one of our finance experts to ascertain what work they do, what type of equipment they are after and how long they have been in business. During this conversation they will need to provide application particulars relating to the business and the business owners.

Step 2

The Finance Broker assesses the clients capacity to repay the debt – i.e. are financial statements available, are business bank statements available for the last 3 months, will the deal be a low doc with no financials or will a cashflow projection need to be prepared? A good Broker will manage this process for you.

Step 3

Once the above items have been collected, the Broker will be in a position to package a submission and offer a formal finance approval that will best suit the client’s specific situation. In most cases client is offered conditional approval within 24 to 48 hours.

Step 4

Conditional approval provided to customer and invoice requested from supplier.

Step 5

Documents are prepared and sent to client for signing either via email or the customer will be signed up in person.

Step 6

The deal is referred for settlement, the supplier of the truck is paid and client can then take delivery of the truck! Funding to supplier is in most cases completed within 24 hours.

Step 7

Post settlement pack sent out including a copy of the supplier tax invoice and the contract so client can provide their Accountant at tax time.
