Can a partnership finance a vehicle?
A partnership can generally finance a business vehicle, with the loan and asset sitting within the partnership. Lenders will want to understand who the partners are and how the business trades as part of their assessment.
What do lenders consider for partnerships?
Expect a lender to review the partnership's ABN and GST history, trading record, and the credit profiles of the partners. Partners are often asked to provide guarantees, and income may be verified through financials or low-doc evidence for eligible applicants.
