Businesses across the Northern Territory looking to finance heavy machinery and equipment have two main choices: go directly to a bank and accept whatever rate they offer, or use a specialist machinery finance broker who compares the entire market on your behalf. For NT businesses, using a broker almost always results in a lower rate, faster approval and less paperwork — and the service is 100% free.
