When you apply for business finance, you (and any directors, partners or guarantors) may need to provide:
- Financial statements, preferably prepared by an accountant
- Proof of individual income
- Bank statements
- Identification
These documents help us understand your business’s financial position.
You can buy a car, ute, van, truck, trailer or bus from a dealership with a Business+ Vehicle Loan. Your new vehicle is used as security against the loan.
A personalised interest rate is an interest rate based on an assessment of your credit score. If you have an excellent credit score and a good history of repaying loans, credit cards and other bills, you’ll likely be offered a lower interest rate.
When you apply for a Business+ Vehicle Loan, your business and individual situation, vehicle type and credit score will be considered when calculating your personalised interest rate.
A balloon payment is a final lump-sum that’s paid at the end of your loan. It’s a percentage of the vehicle’s purchase price and is paid in addition to your regular repayments and fees.
A balloon payment may lower your monthly repayment amount, but it’s important to note that balloon payments accumulate interest. You’ll also have to set some money aside to make the balloon payment. Don’t forget to calculate the full cost to avoid paying more in the long term.
A business vehicle loan is used to buy a vehicle for business purposes. It can have some tax benefits for the business, so consult your accountant to find out which ones apply to you. Unlike a personal car loan, a business vehicle loan can offer a 'balloon payment'. A balloon payment is a lump sum you choose to pay at the end of your loan term so you can reduce your repayment amount while you're paying back the loan.
