Starting a new business often means you need a capable 4WD before you have built up years of trading history. A recently registered ABN can make finance feel out of reach, but that is not always the case. Some lenders cater specifically to newer businesses, and outcomes depend on your overall profile and lender criteria.
Can a new ABN get 4WD finance?
A new ABN does not automatically rule out business vehicle finance. Some lenders will consider applications from newly registered businesses, particularly where other parts of the application are strong. Requirements vary, so it helps to understand what a given lender is looking for before you apply.
What do lenders consider?
For newer ABNs, lenders may look at factors such as your industry experience, the deposit available, the vehicle itself and your personal financial position. Some lenders offer options aimed at new businesses, while others prefer a longer trading history. These are assessed subject to each lender's criteria.
