Earthmoving Equipment Finance

Earthmoving Equipment Finance for Construction & Civil Businesses

Earthmoving equipment can be one of the largest capital investments in a construction or civil business.

At My Finance Consultants, we compare earthmoving equipment finance across a broad range of specialist equipment lenders.

We help contractors, civil operators and construction businesses finance new and used earthmoving machinery with structures designed around cash flow and equipment requirements.

What Earthmoving Equipment Can Be Financed?

Finance is available for a broad range of eligible construction and civil machinery.

This can include excavators, mini excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, loaders, telehandlers and other earthmoving equipment.

Dealer purchases generally provide the widest lender choice.

Private-sale and selected auction purchases may also be considered, subject to lender requirements and asset verification.

The machine's age, condition, operating hours and purchase price can affect the available finance terms.

Earthmoving Equipment Finance Options

Chattel Mortgage

A chattel mortgage is commonly used where your business wants to purchase and own the equipment.

The lender provides funds towards the purchase while registering security over the financed asset.

Repayments are then made over an agreed term.

Balloon Payments

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

This can reduce regular repayments and help preserve working capital.

A larger balloon also leaves a larger final amount to repay or refinance.

We compare different repayment structures before you proceed.

Fleet & Multiple Equipment Finance

Businesses purchasing several machines may be able to finance multiple assets within the same overall lending strategy.

This can help with fleet expansion or replacement of ageing equipment.

The lender will assess the combined purchase price and your ability to meet the total repayments.

New, Used & Auction Equipment

Both new and used earthmoving equipment can be financed.

Used machines may be subject to maximum age requirements, shorter loan terms or additional valuation requirements.

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

Additional checks may be required to confirm ownership, serial numbers and equipment details.

Auction finance should ideally be arranged before bidding because settlement periods can be short.

We can assess your borrowing position and the proposed equipment before you commit.

What Lenders Consider

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

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

Your experience within construction, civil works or earthmoving may also be relevant.

The equipment itself is important.

Age, operating hours, condition, manufacturer and resale demand can influence the lender's assessment.

Established businesses may qualify for streamlined documentation with selected lenders.

Larger or specialised transactions may require financial statements, tax returns or additional equipment information.
