Business Vehicle Loan

Business Vehicle Loans for Cars, Vans, Utes & Commercial Vehicles

A business vehicle loan can provide a straightforward way to purchase an eligible vehicle while keeping ownership within your business.

At My Finance Consultants, we compare business vehicle loans across a broad range of bank and non-bank lenders.

We help sole traders, companies and established businesses finance cars, vans, utes, trucks and other eligible commercial vehicles.

How a Business Vehicle Loan Works

A business vehicle loan provides funds towards the purchase of an eligible vehicle used for business purposes.

Your business generally owns the vehicle while the lender registers security over it.

You then repay the loan over an agreed term.

The vehicle usually provides the primary security for the finance, although guarantees or other requirements may also apply.

What Vehicles Can Be Financed?

Finance is available for a broad range of eligible business vehicles.

This can include passenger cars, SUVs, utilities, commercial vans, trucks and selected specialist vehicles.

Both new and used vehicles may be considered.

Dealer, private-sale and selected auction purchases can also be financed, subject to lender requirements.

The vehicle's age, condition, purchase price and intended business use can affect the available loan terms.

Loan Terms, Repayments & Balloon Options

Fixed Repayments

Business vehicle loans commonly provide regular repayments over an agreed loan term.

A fixed repayment structure can make business budgeting easier.

The available term depends on the lender, vehicle and overall application.

Balloon Payments

Selected lenders allow a balloon payment to remain at the end of the finance term.

This can reduce your regular repayments and preserve more working capital.

A larger balloon also leaves a larger amount to repay, refinance or clear when the vehicle is sold.

We compare different repayment structures before recommending a loan.

Early Payout

You may be able to repay your business vehicle loan before the original term ends.

Early payout conditions and fees vary between lenders.

We consider these conditions when comparing suitable finance options.

New, Used & Private-Sale Vehicle Loans

Both new and used business vehicles can be financed.

Used vehicles may be subject to maximum age requirements or shorter loan terms.

Private-sale vehicles can also be financed with selected lenders.

Additional checks may be required to confirm ownership, vehicle details and the purchase transaction.

Auction purchases can also be considered where lender approval can be completed within the required settlement timeframe.

What Lenders Consider

The lender will assess both your business and the vehicle being financed.

This can include your trading history, existing debts, credit profile and ability to meet the repayments.

The lender may also consider the vehicle's age, value and resale market.

Established businesses may qualify for streamlined or low-documentation assessment with selected lenders.

Newer businesses can also have options where relevant industry experience, income and other lender requirements are satisfied.
