Choose the Logging Equipment Loan Type to Suit Your Business

As commercial lending specialists, our portfolio of asset acquisition credit facilities is inclusive and comprehensive. Businesses with all operating structures, accounting methods, and financial objectives can select the finance product that will specifically meet their requirements. Our selection has options for contractors, SMEs, large corporations, self-employed operators and partnerships.

Logging machinery loans are available with Lease, Hire Purchase, Rent-to-Own and with the highly versatile Chattel Mortgage credit product for new, reconditioned and second-hand units that meet lender approval as acceptable security.

While there are variations in loan types with compatibility with accounting methods, interest rates, ownership of the asset during the loan period, and tax deductions, all provide the opportunity to use the goods as finance security. Subject to lender approval, many operators are not required to provide additional collateral.

To provide assurances and the ability for forward planning, we ensure all logging equipment loans include the best achievable interest rate which is fixed for the entire loan term. Terms are negotiated by our brokers with our lenders, to best meet our customer’s repayment targets. Terms and repayments are fixed to work with cash flow over the long term and to target ROI expectations.

All commercial credit facilities include an end-of-term payment feature. With a logging equipment Lease this is a residual, with Chattel Mortgage and Hire Purchase finance it is a balloon payment. With Rent-to-Own logging machine loans, operators have the opportunity to take ownership of the machine at the end of the financing term through the buyback feature.

While all types of businesses can utilise the full selection of credit facilities, new businesses may not have all the financial documents and trading figures to get approved. We assist with our access to lenders that provide highly cost-effective logging equipment loans without financials.
