What is ABN ute finance?

ABN ute finance is a commercial loan used to buy a ute that is mainly for business use. Because the vehicle is a work asset, lenders assess the application against business criteria rather than consumer rules. Common structures include a chattel mortgage or a commercial hire purchase, where you own or take title to the ute while repaying it over an agreed term.

What do lenders look at for ABN ute finance?

Eligible applicants generally need an active ABN, and lenders will consider how long the business has traded, whether it is GST registered, the type of ute, and your credit history. Some lenders offer low-documentation options, while others ask for financials. Approval and terms are always subject to lender criteria, so the right fit depends on your circumstances.

Why compare a panel of lenders?

Different lenders price and assess ABN ute finance very differently. Overdrive's Managing Director Simon Kendrick compares a panel of more than 80 banks and non-bank lenders in one place, so you can potentially match your situation to a lender likely to say yes on competitive terms. Any GST or depreciation questions are worth checking with your accountant or registered tax adviser.
