Both new and used cars can be financed with a business motor loan. The age and features of used cars are often taken into consideration by individual lenders when making an offer. Your Jade credit consultant will discuss these issues, if relevant, with you. If purchasing a used car, your consultant can assist with REVs checks and other verification issues.
  • Dealer purchases
  • Private sales
  • Auction purchases

The full price range of cars also qualify for business car finance, subject to individual lender and Jade thresholds. Minimum loan amounts apply and some lenders will have maximum loan amounts for some applicants.

Business car finance is available for one car, multiple vehicles or entire fleets.

Business Car Loans Similarities and Differences

The business automotive financing products include similarities and differences. In general terms:

  • Chattel Mortgage is suited to the cash accounting method.
  • Leasing is suited to off balance sheet requests.
  • Commercial Hire Purchase (CHP) is suited to accruals accounting.
  • With Chattel Mortgage and CHP (when accrual accounting) the full GST on the purchase price can be claimed on the next BAS return following purchase. With leasing, GST is applied to the leasing payments and claimed by the borrower accordingly. GST does not apply to the interest portion of any business loan.
  • With Chattel Mortgage, the ownership of the automobile is held by the borrower from the time of settlement/purchase with the lender using the automobile as security (holding a mortgage) against the loan. With Leasing, the lender retains ownership of the vehicle through the loan term and on finalising all payments, ownership is transferred to the borrower.
  • With Leasing, the monthly repayments are tax deductible as an operating expense. With Chattel Mortgage and CHP contracts, the tax benefit is realised when the business end of year accounts and income tax return is prepared with the depreciation allowance on the vehicle.
  • With Leasing, as the car is not listed as an asset/liability in the borrower’s books, it is considered as ‘improving the balance sheet’ for the borrowing business. This can be an appealing for some business operators.
  • All business car finance contracts have the option for a balloon (Chattel Mortgage and CHP) or residual (leasing). This is an amount represented as a percentage of the purchase price of the vehicle, not the total loan amount, which is not included in the monthly repayments but set aside for payment at the end of the loan term. By varying the residual/balloon, the repayment amount can be varied to suit the individual requirements. Some lenders will have limits on balloon/residual amounts.
