When running your own business, having the right equipment is crucial. There may come a time when you need to update your assets to help ensure your business remains efficient and profitable.

Typically, many business owners rely on their own cash to upgrade these important assets, like company cars, equipment for medical and dental practices, and earthmoving machinery for agriculture. Combined with overheads like wages and rent, these costs can put a huge dent in your cash capital.

That’s where financing your purchases can help reduce the impact on your cash flow. With the benefits of ANZ’s Vehicle and Equipment Finance we can help your business.

What is Vehicle and Equipment Finance?

Vehicle and Equipment Finance is a way for customers to buy or lease the assets they need for the day-to-day operations of their business, allowing the cost to be spread out over time.

This form of finance can be a good way to secure funding, because the vehicle or equipment itself acts as collateral for the loan and approved customers may not need a deposit. This means you can preserve your business’ working capital, giving you the peace of mind that you can cover any unexpected expenses.

How can Vehicle and Equipment Finance benefit your business? 

As your business grows and adapts, Vehicle and Equipment Finance can be used to acquire or upgrade the assets that allow you to meet the needs of your customers, without the substantial upfront cost.

“Vehicle and Equipment Finance helped one of my customers, an apparel printing and design studio in Sydney, grow their business by purchasing a high-end printing machine with the ability to print 400 shirts per hour. This new purchase meant they could expand their servicing offering quickly and speed up their production while continuing to offer a quality product.”
