Frequently asked questions

What is a business car loan? 

  • Sometimes referred to as a goods loan or chattel mortgage 
  • Your business buys and owns the car from the start 
  • Your business makes regular repayments to pay back the loan 
  • The loan is secured against the vehicle. 

What are the interest rates? 

Interest rates and repayments vary depending on a number of factors. Some of these may be:  

  • Type and age of the asset being purchased  
  • Term of the finance agreement. 

 

To find out the interest rate you could be paying, get a quote online or call us on 1300 360 322 to speak to a business lending specialist. 

What is a balloon payment? 

  • A balloon payment is an amount due at the end of your loan, sometimes called a final repayment amount. 
  • Balloon payments keep monthly repayments lower and help free up your cash flow. 
  • If you choose this option, you’ll be left with a lump sum to pay at the end of the loan. You’ll also end up paying more interest over the life of the loan. 
  • Choosing to have a balloon payment means your monthly repayments won’t fully pay off the loan, you’ll still need to pay the balloon (or lump sum) leftover to close out the loan. 

What is the maximum loan term? 

  • Loan terms range from 1 to 7 years 
  • Loan terms depend on the repayment amount you can afford and the useful life of the asset
  • If you have a loan term in mind, make sure you let us know 
  • If you're buying a used or second-hand vehicle the loan term may be shorter depending on the age of the vehicle 
  • The longer the loan term the more interest you will pay. 

Is there a minimum loan amount? 

Yes, the minimum loan amount is $15k. 

Can I get a business car loan if I have a bad credit history? 

While a bad credit history is likely to decrease your chances of getting approved, it doesn’t mean you can’t get a loan at all.
