Pros & Cons of Chattel Mortgage

Deciding if this is the right credit facility for your acquisition requires consideration of a number of factors and we recommend a discussion with an accountant. Considering the upsides and downsides as well as suitability to achieving the objectives of the operation can assist the decision-making process.

  • Accounting method suitability suits cash accounting which is used by many Australian entities. For those using the accrual methods other credit facilities need to be considered.
  • Lowest interest rate when compared with Leasing and Rent-to-Own.
  • Simplified structure as a secured credit facility. Additional collateral usually not required. Freeing up the enterprise’s assets.
  • Balance sheet impacts ownership of the asset, and means the asset is on the books. Some entities may prefer not to have the liability of a sizeable asset on the balance sheet.
  • Flexible balloon which allows applicants to structure their funding to targeted repayments. A downside of a balloon is that it is due for full payment after the final monthly payment. Balloons can be refinanced, but the asset would be treated as second hand when refinanced. When deciding on the percentage at the outset, buyers should be mindful of the balloon amount being in line with projected value of the goods at the time the payment is due.
  • Tax deductions via depreciation which may be perceived as more complicated than Leasing and Rent-to-Own that feature deductible repayments.
  • All the GST is claimable at the time of the asset purchase. This may provide enterprises with a significant deduction on the BAS return for the relevant period.
  • Versatile credit facility which can be used for wide range of commercial assets purchased by enterprises in all industries: vehicles, trucks, equipment, motor vehicles, commercial vessels.
