Why refinance a ute loan?

Common triggers include wanting a lower repayment, consolidating the ute loan with other business finance, or restructuring after your circumstances have changed. If your business is stronger than when you first borrowed, you may qualify for terms that better suit you now, subject to lender criteria.

What does refinancing a ute cost?

Refinancing can involve exit fees on the current loan and setup costs on the new one, so it is worth checking the numbers add up. Extending the term to lower repayments may increase total interest over time. Simon can compare your existing arrangement against options from the 80+ lender panel to see whether a switch genuinely benefits you.

When is the best time to refinance?

Refinancing often makes most sense partway through a loan when there is still meaningful term remaining. For any tax or depreciation implications of restructuring, check with your accountant or registered tax adviser so the move fits your overall position.
