Being self-employed shouldn't make financing a coach harder than it needs to be. Overdrive helps self-employed operators with a valid ABN compare a panel of 80+ lenders and find a structure that suits variable income.
What options suit the self-employed?
Self-employed operators can access the same range of coach facilities as any other business, from chattel mortgages to leases. Where a full set of financials isn't available, low-doc arrangements may let established applicants proceed with limited paperwork, subject to lender criteria.
How do you prove serviceability when self-employed?
Income can move around when you are self-employed, so lenders look for evidence the coach will earn steadily. Contract work, charter agreements or a track record of trading all help. A deposit, trade-in or property behind the application can also strengthen your position and broaden the lenders willing to assist.
How do you structure self-employed coach finance?
Setting the term, deposit and any balloon around your cash flow keeps repayments manageable through quieter months. How the purchase affects your GST and depreciation position should be confirmed with your accountant or registered tax adviser.
