Compare Machinery Finance — Lowest Rates In Australia
Machinery refinancing means replacing your existing machinery finance with a new one at a lower interest rate. If rates have dropped since you took out your original finance, or you accepted dealer finance without shopping around, refinancing could significantly reduce your monthly repayments.
We handle the entire refinance process — assessing your existing finance, comparing replacement options across 80+ lenders, and managing the payout and settlement of your new facility.
Most clients who refinanced their machinery finance through us reduced their interest rate and lowered their monthly repayments. Call us with your current finance details and we'll tell you whether refinancing makes sense.
To refinance your machinery finance, we'll need your current finance balance, interest rate, remaining term and monthly repayment. We can then compare this against what's available in the market today.

Unbeatable Rates - Always Compare Before Signing
We're known for securing the cheapest machinery finance rates, consistently beating quotes from banks, dealerships, and other brokers. Through our free machinery loan comparison service, we'll compare any quote against our panel to secure you a lower rate with reduced repayments.
Never rely on a verbal interest rate. Many brokers and dealer quote rates over the phone without disclosing all fees and charges, making finance appear cheaper than it really is. That's why it's essential to get your quote in writing to compare actual repayments, as they reveal the true cost of the loan.
If you've received a quote, send it through for a free review. We'll break down the interest rate, repayments, fees, loan structure, and total cost, identify any hidden charges, and let you know if a better deal is available.
A few minutes spent comparing finance options could save your business thousands over the life of the loan.
Get Pre-Approved For Machinery Refinance Before You Buy
A machinery refinance finance pre-approval gives you a real advantage when buying from a dealership, auction, or private seller. With finance already in place, you'll know exactly what you can afford and have greater negotiating power as a serious buyer.
We'll confirm your borrowing capacity, interest rate, loan term, and estimated repayments upfront. With decisions available in as little as 24 hours and approvals valid for up to 90 days, you'll be ready to act when the right machinery refinance comes along.
Simply send us the invoice and we'll arrange settlement and release the funds.

FAQ
Machinery Refinance — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this type of finance — answered.
When can I refinance my machinery finance loan?
Most lenders require a minimum of 12 months on your existing loan before they will consider refinancing. Once you've passed 12 months, refinancing is worth exploring — particularly if rates have dropped or your credit profile has improved since you first took out the loan.
How much can refinancing a machinery finance loan save me?
This depends on your current rate versus what's available to you now. Even a 1–2% rate reduction can save thousands in interest over the remaining loan term. We calculate the exact saving for your loan before you commit to anything.
What are the costs of refinancing a machinery finance loan?
Potential costs include early payout fees on your existing loan (check your loan contract), and establishment fees on the new loan. We calculate the net saving after all costs to confirm refinancing is worth it before you proceed.
Can I refinance a machinery finance loan from a bank?
Yes. Many clients refinance from bank-arranged loans to specialist lenders that offer better rates or more flexible terms. We compare the full market to find the best refinance option for your existing loan.
Will refinancing affect my credit score?
A formal refinance application involves a credit check. However, one credit inquiry has minimal impact on your score, and the long-term benefit of a lower rate typically outweighs this.
How do I know if refinancing my machinery finance loan is worth it?
We calculate the breakeven point — how long until your interest savings exceed any payout and establishment costs. In most cases where the rate saving is 1%+, refinancing pays off within the first year.
Can I access equity when refinancing a machinery finance loan?
In some cases, yes — depending on the current outstanding balance relative to the asset's current market value. Contact us to discuss whether equity release is available for your specific loan.
Is a deposit required?
No deposit is required for eligible ABN holders with a strong credit and trading profile. A deposit can help improve your rate or secure approval if your credit profile is less straightforward.
Can I finance a used asset?
Yes. Finance is available for new and used assets. Age limits vary by lender and asset type. We identify the right lender for your specific asset.
How quickly can I get approved?
Most applications receive a decision within 24–48 hours. Once approved, your pre-approval is valid for 90 days.
Can I get low doc finance?
Yes. Low doc (no financial statements) finance is available up to $500,000 for eligible ABN holders. We typically need your ABN, driver's licence and bank statements.
Can I finance from a private seller?
Yes. We arrange finance for assets purchased from private sellers anywhere in Australia. The lender pays the seller directly on settlement.
Can I finance with bad credit?
Yes. Specialist lenders on our panel consider applicants with a range of credit profiles, including those who have been declined by banks.
What is the typical loan term?
Loan terms typically range from 2 to 7 years depending on the asset type, value and your cash flow requirements.
Can I refinance existing finance?
Yes. Refinancing can reduce your rate, lower repayments or release equity. We compare refinance options across 80+ lenders.
Are repayments tax-deductible?
Interest repayments under a chattel mortgage are tax-deductible. You can also claim depreciation on the asset and GST upfront. Speak with your accountant about your specific situation.
Is insurance required?
Yes. Most lenders require comprehensive insurance before settlement. We can assist with arranging cover.
Can I use a balloon payment?
Yes. A balloon payment reduces monthly repayments by deferring a lump sum to the end of the term. We size it to match the asset's expected resale value.
Does applying affect my credit score?
No. Submitting an enquiry with us doesn't affect your credit score. We only proceed to a formal credit application with your explicit approval.
What is the minimum loan amount?
Most lenders have a minimum of $10,000–$20,000 for asset finance. We'll confirm the minimum for your specific asset type.
