Running your own show means the van is often the business. Owner-operator van finance is designed for sole traders and small operators who need a dependable vehicle without tying up cash.
Can an owner-operator finance a van?
Whether you trade as a sole trader or a small company, you can finance a van under your ABN. Lenders assess your business income and history rather than a fixed wage. Options are available across Overdrive's panel of 80+ lenders, subject to their criteria.
What helps your application?
A clean credit file, GST registration, a reasonable trading history, and evidence of steady income all support approval. A deposit or trade-in can help newer operators, and low-doc options may suit established ABNs with fewer documents to hand.
How does no deposit protect cash flow?
No-deposit structures for eligible applicants keep your working capital intact. Speak with your accountant or registered tax adviser about how repayments, GST, and any depreciation apply to your business.
