Business vehicle finance covers cars, utes, vans, SUVs and light commercials, and lenders assess them through a similar lens. Understanding the factors involved makes the process feel less opaque and helps you prepare.
What business standing do lenders want?
Lenders look at your ABN status and age, whether you are GST registered, and your trading history. These signals point to how established and stable the business is, subject to lender criteria.
How do lenders assess serviceability?
Credit history and the capacity to meet repayments are key. For many small businesses, a director's personal credit may also be reviewed for eligible applicants.
How does the vehicle and deal matter?
The vehicle type and age, loan amount, term, deposit and asset backing all matter. A well-structured application with a suitable vehicle tends to be viewed favourably.
