There are a few different ways to finance a vehicle or piece of equipment, and the right one depends on your business structure, your GST registration, and how you want to handle the tax implications. I'll walk you through the options and recommend the one that makes the most sense for your situation.
Chattel mortgage
The most common structure for business asset finance. You own the asset from day one, the loan is secured against it, and you may be able to claim the GST, depreciation, and interest as tax deductions. Worth discussing with your accountant.
Finance lease
You lease the asset for an agreed term and have the option to purchase at the end. Can suit businesses that want to keep the asset off their balance sheet or prefer flexibility at the end of the term.
Commercial hire purchase
Similar to a chattel mortgage but structured as a hire agreement. You take ownership at the end of the term once all payments are made.
Personal car loan
If the vehicle is primarily for personal use, a personal car loan may be the right fit. I can help with this too.
