Van Finance

Van Finance for Trades, Delivery & Service Businesses

A reliable commercial van can be essential for trades, deliveries, mobile services and growing businesses.

At My Finance Consultants, we compare van finance across a broad range of bank and non-bank commercial vehicle lenders.

We help sole traders, contractors and businesses finance new and used vans with structures designed around cash flow and operating requirements.

What Vans Can Be Financed?

Finance is available for a broad range of eligible commercial vans used for business purposes.

This can include cargo vans, delivery vans, crew vans and other commercial vehicle configurations.

Both new and used vehicles may be considered.

Dealer purchases generally provide the widest lender choice.

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

The van's age, kilometres, condition, purchase price and intended business use can affect the available finance terms.

Van Finance Options

Chattel Mortgage

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

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

Repayments are 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 business working capital.

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

We compare different repayment structures before you proceed.

Leasing Options

Selected businesses may prefer to lease rather than purchase a commercial van.

Leasing can suit businesses that regularly replace vehicles or prefer different ownership arrangements.

The available term and end-of-lease options depend on the lender and vehicle.

Your accountant should confirm the tax treatment of the proposed finance structure.

New, Used & Private-Sale Van Finance

Both new and used business vans can be financed.

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

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

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

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

Finance for New & Established Businesses

Established businesses may qualify for streamlined documentation with selected lenders.

This can reduce the amount of financial information required for eligible transactions.

Newer businesses can also have van-finance options.

The lender may consider your industry experience, income, credit profile and available contribution when assessing the application.

A shorter trading history can reduce the number of suitable lenders, so selecting the right policy is important.

What Lenders Consider

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

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

The vehicle's age, value and resale market may also influence lender policy.

For contractors and mobile service businesses, the lender may also consider how the vehicle supports your income-generating activities.

We compare lender policies before submitting an application.
