Kenworth is the most prestigious truck brand in Australia — the go-to choice for long-distance linehaul, heavy haulage and owner-operators who demand reliability and resale value. Because Kenworth trucks hold their value exceptionally well, lenders are comfortable financing both new and used Kenworths, often at very competitive rates.

Kenworth has been manufacturing trucks in Australia since 1971 at its Bayswater, Victoria plant. The T610, T909 and T410 are among the most common prime movers on Australian highways. Their strong resale values, extensive service network and parts availability make them highly attractive to lenders — meaning Kenworth finance is available from more lenders and at better rates than many competing brands.

Kenworth Finance Rates

Kenworth finance rates in Australia currently start from around 6.29% per annum for established operators financing new trucks with clean credit. Rates for used Kenworth trucks, new ABNs and adverse credit are higher — typically 9% to 15%+. By comparing 80+ lenders, we identify the sharpest available rate for your specific Kenworth model, ABN history and credit profile.

New vs Used Kenworth Finance

New Kenworth trucks attract the widest range of lenders and the sharpest rates. Used Kenworth trucks — from dealers, private sellers or auction — are also well-supported, particularly for well-maintained examples from reputable sources. The lender assesses age, condition, kilometres and the truck's resale market when pricing a used Kenworth application.

Low Doc Kenworth Finance

Low doc Kenworth finance allows eligible ABN holders to borrow up to $500,000 without providing tax returns, BAS statements or full financial statements. You need your ABN, driver's licence and recent business bank statements. Same-day conditional approvals are common.

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.
