Plant and Machinery Finance FAQs – Melbourne
Plant and machinery finance allows Melbourne businesses to purchase heavy equipment and machinery without paying the full cost upfront. Repayments are spread over time and structured around how the machinery generates income, helping preserve cash flow while keeping operations moving.
Most commercial-use machinery can be financed, including construction equipment, earthmoving machinery, industrial plant, manufacturing equipment, and agricultural machinery. Many businesses also combine plant finance with business equipment finance when upgrading multiple asset types.
Yes. Many lenders offer finance for both new and used machinery, subject to the age, condition, and value of the asset. Used machinery finance is common for Melbourne businesses looking to manage costs while expanding capacity.
Not always. Some Melbourne businesses qualify for low-deposit or even 100% finance, depending on trading history and the machinery type. In some cases, combining machinery finance with secured business loans can improve borrowing capacity or terms.
Approval times vary, but many applications are approved within days once documentation is provided. Larger or specialised machinery may take longer due to valuations, especially when combined with heavy equipment loans or contract-based funding.
Often, yes. Depending on the finance structure, depreciation and interest may be tax-deductible. Chattel mortgages are commonly used by GST-registered Melbourne businesses, but you should always confirm tax treatment with your accountant.
Yes. Many Melbourne businesses combine plant and machinery finance with working capital finance, cash flow finance, or business lines of credit to ensure machinery purchases don’t restrict day-to-day operations or project cash flow.
A specialist broker compares multiple banks and non-bank lenders rather than offering a single product. This often results in better-structured deals, faster approvals, and access to specialist lenders, especially for construction equipment finance and high-value machinery.
