Machinery Loan Options
Chattel Mortgage
Own it from Day One
With a Chattel Mortgage, the machinery is yours from the moment you acquire it. This gives you full ownership and control, allowing you to claim depreciation as a business expense and potentially reduce your tax burden.
Fixed Repayments
Enjoy predictable monthly repayments, making budgeting and cash flow management easier.
Flexible Terms
Tailor your loan term to suit your business needs and financial goals.
Finance Lease
Preserve your cash flow
A Finance Lease allows you to acquire the machinery without a significant upfront investment, freeing up your cash flow for other business needs.
Lower Monthly Payments
Enjoy lower monthly repayments compared to a Chattel Mortgage, making it a more manageable option for some businesses.
Flexibility at the End
At the end of the lease term, you have the option to purchase the machinery, upgrade to a newer model, or simply return it.
Commercial Hire Purchase
Balanced Approach
Commercial Hire Purchase combines elements of both Chattel Mortgage and Finance Lease. You make regular payments, and at the end of the term, you have the option to purchase the machinery for a nominal fee.
Tax Benefits
Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to claim tax deductions for interest and depreciation.
Fixed or Variable Rates
Choose between fixed or variable interest rates to suit your risk tolerance and financial preferences.
