Finance Structures Available

Agriculture Equipment Finance Rates

Agriculture equipment finance rates in Australia currently start from around 6.29% per annum for established agribusiness operators financing new equipment with clean credit. Seasonal repayment structures are a key feature of specialist agriculture finance — these allow farming businesses to align repayments with their income cycle rather than paying equal monthly instalments year-round.

New, Used and Auction Equipment

We finance agriculture equipment purchased from dealers, private sellers, fleet disposals and auction. If you are purchasing at auction, getting finance pre-approved before the auction is essential — settlements are typically required within 48 to 72 hours. Contact us before auction day and we will have your finance ready to activate when you win.

How to Apply

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this topic, answered by Simon Kendrick.

How do unsecured business loans work in Australia?

▾

Unsecured business loans provide working capital without requiring property or equipment as security. Non-bank lenders assess your business bank statements and revenue to determine how much you can borrow, at what rate and over what term.

What is the difference between a secured and unsecured business loan?

▾

A secured loan uses collateral such as property, equipment or invoices as security, typically offering lower rates and higher amounts. An unsecured loan requires no collateral but generally carries a higher rate to reflect the increased lender risk.

How are unsecured business loan repayments structured?

▾

Most non-bank unsecured loans use daily, weekly or monthly repayments automatically debited from your business account. The repayment frequency and structure vary between lenders and products.

What can I use an unsecured business loan for?

▾

Most unsecured business loans have no restrictions on use for legitimate business purposes including working capital, stock, marketing, wages, equipment, fit-outs, ATO debt or business growth.

What is a business line of credit and how does it work?

▾

A line of credit provides access to a pre-approved credit limit that you draw on as needed, paying interest only on the amount drawn. It is well-suited to managing cash flow gaps or short-notice business opportunities.

What is the minimum revenue required for an unsecured business loan?

▾

Revenue requirements vary between lenders. Most non-bank lenders look for consistent monthly revenue above a minimum threshold, assessed across your recent bank statements. We can assess your eligibility without a formal credit enquiry.

What is the maximum loan term for an unsecured business loan?

▾

Unsecured business loan terms typically range from 3 to 24 months. Some lenders offer longer terms for larger amounts or established businesses. Longer terms reduce repayments but increase the total interest paid.

Can I get an unsecured business loan if my business is seasonal?

▾

Potentially. Some lenders offer flexible repayment structures suited to seasonal businesses. Providing 12 months of bank statements helps demonstrate your actual annual income including seasonal fluctuations.

What is the fastest way to get an unsecured business loan approved?

▾

Having 3-6 months of business bank statements, ABN details and your driver licence ready to submit together allows for a faster assessment. Applying through a broker who matches your profile to the right lender can significantly speed up the process.
