Keeping cash in the business is often smart, so a no-deposit bus finance arrangement can be appealing. For eligible applicants with the right profile, some lenders will consider funding the full purchase.
Can you get no-deposit bus finance?
Some lenders may offer no-deposit or fully financed arrangements to applicants with a solid credit history, established trading, and sometimes property to offer as security. It isn't available to everyone, and approval is subject to lender criteria, but it can be worth exploring if you'd rather keep your cash working.
What do lenders weigh without a deposit?
Without a deposit reducing their exposure, lenders look closely at your credit file, ABN age, serviceability and the bus itself, since it acts as security. A stronger overall profile improves your chances. Consider the tax and cash-flow angles with your accountant before deciding.
