Can a venue finance a courtesy bus?

Licensed clubs, pubs, hotels and function venues can finance a courtesy bus for ABN-holding businesses. New and used buses are both commonly funded, with the term shaped by the age and condition of the vehicle. A courtesy service can be a genuine driver of repeat patronage, subject to lender criteria.

Is a courtesy bus an affordable cost?

Rather than a large upfront outlay, financing turns a courtesy bus into a predictable repayment that sits alongside your other running costs. A balloon payment can lower the monthly figure if you'd rather preserve cash for the venue. Eligible applicants may have low-doc options available.

Is a courtesy bus worth it?

A reliable courtesy bus supports responsible service and keeps patrons returning, which many venues find pays for itself over time. Matching the finance term to how long you'll run the bus keeps it efficient. For the tax treatment, check with your accountant or registered tax adviser.
