If your current coach loan no longer suits your business, refinancing can help. Operators refinance to reduce repayments, release equity, consolidate multiple loans or simply move to terms that better fit today's cash flow.
Why do operators refinance a coach?
Common goals include lowering monthly repayments, switching to a more suitable term, releasing equity built up in a coach for working capital, or bringing several facilities together. What is achievable depends on your current loan, the coach's value and your credit position, subject to lender criteria.
What to check before refinancing a coach?
Before refinancing, weigh any exit or break costs on your existing loan against the savings, and confirm the coach still values up against the new amount. Simon compares the panel to see whether a better structure is genuinely available for your situation.
When is the best time to refinance?
Refinancing often makes most sense partway through a loan or when a balloon is approaching. For how refinancing affects your deductions and GST, check with your accountant or registered tax adviser.
