Overview of Commercial Hire Purchase Marine Finance
Commercial Hire Purchase is also referred to as Hire Purchase or CHP. It is a form of commercial credit facility, not a vehicle for hiring or renting vessels.

Leasing and Chattel Mortgage Features
Commercial Hire Purchase Boat Loans have features similar to both Leasing and Chattel Mortgage and features unique to this credit facility. As with Boat Leasing, the lender purchases the vessel and ‘hires’ it to the borrower for a set monthly fee – the loan repayment.
Depreciation Benefits
Similar to Chattel Mortgage, the ownership of the vessel does revert to the borrower so the asset can be depreciated in the annual accounts. Over the term of the finance, the borrowing business is responsible for all operating costs for the vessel including insurance, maintenance, registration and repairs.
Attractive Interest Rates
Interest rates on Hire Purchase Marine Finance are the most attractive in commercial credit and on par with Chattel Mortgage across the commercial lending market. Also similar to Chattel Mortgage, a balloon component is included in CHP finance which is a portion of the loan which is due for finalising after the last monthly repayment is made. The balloon may be finalised as a lump sum or refinanced.
Cash and Accrual Accounting
Unique to Commercial Hire Purchase Boat Finance is its suitability to both the cash and the accruals methods of accounting. This allows businesses using either method, access to competitive CHP boat loan interest rates.
Wide Range of Watercraft
Commercial Hire Purchase Boat Financing can suit a range of businesses and many types of watercraft from small jet skis and PWCs through to large commercial fishing trawlers. Both new and used commercial vessels may be financed with CHP boat loans. Used vessels may attract different rates and collateral requirements to loans for new boats.

Competitive Rates, Versatile Features & Format - Hire Purchase Marine Finance
Hire Purchase Marine Financing provides operators with a versatile format and attractive interest rates. Suitable for businesses that use both the accruals and the cash accounting methods, CHP is available for many operators from self-employed through to large corporations.
Tax deductions are realised through depreciation of the vessel as a business asset. Depreciation schedules are set by the ATO. The interest portion of the monthly repayments is also deductible. The GST portion of the vessel purchase is claimed in full on the next BAS return after purchase. With the full amount of GST accounted for, no GST is added to monthly payments with Commercial Hire Purchase Boat Loans.
A balloon component is an option. This is percentage of the loan amount request which is set aside and due to be finalised at the end of the finance term. When that time comes, if the operator chooses to keep the boat at the end of the loan term, they can speak with us about affordable boat loan refinancing to finalise the balloon.
Commercial Hire Purchase Marine Finance interest rates are extremely attractive and typically the same as Chattel Mortgage – the lowest available in asset acquisition financing. We secure Hire Purchase interest rates for boats at a fixed rate. Terms are also fixed and negotiated individually by our brokers with our lenders to secure the most workable solution and target ROI.
A fixed monthly repayment schedule is secured by our experts to best work with individual business cash flow requirements. For a CHP marine finance quote on your boat purchase, contact us or work up pre-purchase estimates on our CHP Boat Loan Calculator.
