Australians often say ute, but pickup truck describes the same workhorse many businesses rely on every day. Whether you are after a dual-cab for the crew or a single-cab for hauling gear, finance can spread the cost so your working capital stays free. Here is how pickup truck finance generally works for ABN holders.
How does pickup truck finance work?
Pickup truck finance is commercial lending for a vehicle used mainly for business. A chattel mortgage is a common structure, where your business owns the pickup from the outset and the lender holds security over it until the loan is repaid. Leasing and rental arrangements are also available. The right fit depends on how you account for vehicles, so confirm the tax treatment with your accountant or registered tax adviser.
Who is eligible for pickup finance?
Businesses of many sizes finance pickups, from sole traders through to established companies with several vehicles. Lenders generally consider your ABN age, GST registration, the pickup's make, age and value, and your repayment history. Newer businesses and those with a limited paper trail still have options, though criteria and rates differ between lenders.
How do you compare pickup truck finance?
Rather than approaching lenders one at a time, working with a broker lets you compare across a wide panel in one go. Overdrive reviews more than 80 banks and non-bank lenders, so the pickup you want can be matched to a lender whose criteria suit your situation. Approval is never guaranteed and remains subject to individual assessment.
