Machinery finance rates range from 6.1% to 15.99% per annum. Terms from 1 to 7 years are available. Balloon and residual payments can reduce monthly repayments on high-value machinery.

Most machinery finance applications receive a credit decision within 24 to 48 hours. Same-day approvals are available for straightforward low doc applications.

Low Doc Machinery Finance

Low Doc finance is designed for borrowers who want a simple, streamlined approval process. In most cases, no financial statements or BAS statements are required. Approval is generally based on your ABN history, credit profile, and the asset being financed.

Light Doc Machinery Finance

Light Doc finance provides a middle ground between Low Doc and Full Doc lending. Borrowers can often qualify using recent business bank statements and limited supporting documentation, without the need for full financial accounts.

Full Doc Machinery Finance

Full Doc finance is suitable for borrowers who can provide complete financial records and supporting documentation. This option typically offers the most competitive rates and highest borrowing capacity.


Frequently Asked Questions

What types of machinery can you finance?

Overdrive Funding finances excavators, bulldozers, graders, loaders, forklifts, cranes, compactors, rollers, agricultural tractors and harvesters, manufacturing machinery and industrial plant — new and used — across all major brands.

Can you finance used machinery?

Yes. Used machinery from dealers, auctions, hire companies and private sellers is fully financeable. Lenders assess the asset's age, hours, condition and market value. Our panel includes specialist lenders who fund older and high-hour machines where mainstream banks may decline.

Can I finance machinery purchased at auction?

Yes. Auction purchases are fully supported. Overdrive Funding works with lenders who fund machinery purchased at Grays, Ritchie Bros, Purple Brick and other major equipment auctions. Finance can often be pre-approved before auction day so you can bid with confidence.

Is machinery finance available with a new ABN?

Yes. New ABN machinery finance is available from specialist lenders on our panel, typically requiring a deposit and evidence of contracts or industry experience. Rates for new ABN applications sit toward the higher end of our 6.1% to 15.99% range.

Can I finance machinery for my business if I have bad credit?

Possibly yes. Specialist lenders on our panel consider adverse credit applications for machinery finance, particularly where the business has strong cash flow and the asset holds good resale value. Adverse credit rates sit toward the higher end of our 6.1% to 15.99% range.

What interest rates are available?

Finance rates in Australia range from 6.1% to 15.99% per annum depending on your credit history, ABN age, asset type and whether the asset is new or used. Established businesses with clean credit financing new assets attract the lowest rates. Overdrive Funding compares 80+ lenders to find the sharpest available rate for your business.

Is low doc finance available?

Yes. Low doc finance is available up to $500,000 for eligible ABN holders with no tax returns or BAS required. Most lenders require your ABN (active 6+ months), driver's licence and details of the asset. Overdrive Funding will advise the right doc level for your profile.
