What is Plant and Machinery Finance?

Plant and machinery finance is specifically designed to help business owners acquire the equipment they need to run and grow their operations in industries such as construction, agriculture, mining, and manufacturing.

It allows you to borrow up to 100% of the plant or machinery price (new or used), using the equipment as security against the loan. With set interest rates and repayment periods, this lending option can cover a wide range of equipment purchases, from excavators and tractors to mining equipment and production lines, while also potentially offering tax advantages (speak to your financial advisor). Increasingly we are also seeing business owners in the forestry, sustainability and healthcare sectors take advantage of this type of financing.

This lending product is well suited to all types of businesses that rely on heavy equipment, from small contractors to large operations.

Who qualifies?

To be eligible for plant and machinery finance, you generally need to:

  • Have an active ABN
  • Be a tax resident (Australia)
  • Equipment must be for business use (mainly)
  • Demonstrate the ability to repay the loan
