    What We Finance

    Vans, Financed for the Work They Do

    A van running six days of parcel work is a different proposition to a van carrying tools to a couple of job sites a week. We look at what the van is actually for, then work out which lenders suit that picture. New or used, dealer or private sale, all of it is worth a conversation.

    🚚
    New and Demo Vans

    Straight from the dealership, financed for business use under your ABN.

    ✏️
    Used and Private-Sale Vans

    Used vans within reasonable age and condition are considered, and private sales too, not just dealer stock.

    🗺️
    Courier, Delivery and Last-Mile

    Set up for vans doing parcel runs, subcontract delivery work and regular routes, including refrigerated vans for cold-chain work.

    👥
    Sole Traders, Owner-Drivers and Small Fleets

    Whether it is your first business van or the third one on the road, the approach is the same.

    FAQs

    Van Finance Questions Answered

    Often, yes. Business van finance is arranged for ABN holders, including sole traders and company structures. Whether you qualify depends on the lender and your circumstances, so it is worth a conversation.

    Often, yes. Used vans within reasonable age and condition are considered, and we can help with private-sale purchases as well as dealer stock. What is available depends on the van and the lender.

    Often, yes. Shelving, racking, cargo barriers, refrigeration units and trade fitouts can frequently be included when they form part of the vehicle purchase. It comes down to the lender and how the invoice is structured, so let us know what you are having fitted before the paperwork is drawn up.

    It is a common structure for business vehicles. You own the van from the start, and the lender holds security over it until the loan is paid out. How it affects your tax position is a question for your accountant, worth asking before you sign rather than after.

    It is a lump sum left owing at the end of the loan term, which lowers your regular repayments during the term. The trade-off is that you usually pay more total interest over the life of the loan, and that lump sum still has to be dealt with at the end. You can pay it out, refinance it, or cover it by selling or trading the van, though there is no guarantee what the van will be worth by then. We will explain how it works so you can weigh it up, and for tax questions your accountant is the right person to ask.

    Usually your ABN, ID, some bank statements, and details of the van. We will tell you exactly what is needed for your situation, so you are not chasing paperwork you do not need.

    Yes. We work with a range of lenders, including some that consider operators with past credit issues. All finance is subject to lender approval, but it is worth a conversation.

    Yes. We only arrange business-purpose finance for ABN holders. No home or personal loans.
