Asset Finance

Finance for the vehicles, equipment and machinery your business relies on, without tying up working capital.

Asset finance lets a business acquire vehicles, equipment or machinery while spreading the cost over time, rather than paying upfront or drawing down working capital. Lendwise Group helps business owners and owner-operators across Melbourne compare finance structures such as chattel mortgages and finance leases against their goals and tax position.

We work through what the asset is for, how it will be used, and how the repayments fit your business's cash flow, then compare that against a panel of lenders to find a structure that suits.

Common questions

What's the difference between a chattel mortgage and a finance lease?

Broadly, a chattel mortgage means you own the asset from settlement while the lender holds security over it, whereas a finance lease means the financier owns the asset and you lease it for an agreed term. Which suits you depends on your tax position, so we'd recommend confirming the right structure with your accountant.

Can I finance a used vehicle or piece of equipment?

Yes, most lenders on our panel will finance used assets, though the age and condition of the asset can affect the terms available.

How quickly can asset finance be approved?

Straightforward applications with good documentation can often be turned around quickly, though timing depends on the lender and the complexity of your situation.
