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