Improve Your Truck Loan Terms with Refinancing

What is refinancing? Refinancing involves revising your loan agreement to make favourable changes to the interest rate, payment schedule, or other terms outlined in the agreement. Under a refinance, you will receive a new contract that replaces the original agreement. Refinancing is typically a good idea when the interest rate environment changes.

By refinancing your truck with Jade Finance, you may be able to receive a better interest rate, lower repayments, and flexible terms.

Better cash flow

As interest rates continue to rise, refinancing your truck loan could help you better manage your cash flow. This is because it will generally reduce your monthly payments and free up room in your budget for other financial goals.

Increased savings

Truck loan restructuring can be used to take advantage of a lower interest rate. This could potentially save you thousands of dollars depending on the amount of time you’ve had your loan and the difference in your current rate compared to the refinance rate. By taking advantage of a lower interest rate, you could boost your savings significantly.

Make budgeting easier

Budgeting is the process of creating a plan for your income and expenses. It involves allocating certain amounts of your income towards bills, food, and other expenses. By refinancing your truck loan, you will be able to re-allocate these funds to where they are most needed.

Boost business growth

By refinancing your truck loan with Jade Finance, you could also boost the growth of your business substantially. This is because when businesses refinance their existing debts, they can often extend their repayment terms which can lead to lower monthly payments and improved cash flow. By obtaining additional capital in this way, you could unlock the ability to fund initiatives for business growth, create an emergency fund, and even explore new markets.

Understanding the Basics of Refinancing

When an existing loan is revised and replaced with a new one, it is called refinancing. Typically by refinancing, a borrower will enjoy more favourable terms such as lower interest rates, longer repayment periods, or both. A borrower might choose to refinance to reduce their monthly payments on a loan, save on interest costs, or change the type of loan they have. Prior to refinancing a loan, borrowers should:

  • Evaluate their current financial situation.
  • Review existing loan terms.
  • Partner with Jade to shop around for the best rates and terms.
  • Consider their financial goals.
  • Understand any associated costs and fees.

With Jade Finance, truck refinancing is a quick and easy process that could save you and your business a lot of time. Jade Finance has a range of commercial refinancing products for both new and used truck loans including chattel mortgage, commercial hire purchase, and no deposit refinancing.

Chattel Mortgage

Chattel mortgage is a popular and commonly used commercial loan for refinancing a truck. Offered for a range of purposes by all major Australian banks and many lenders through the brokers at Jade, a chattel mortgage on your truck purchase is a similar concept to a mortgage on a home. Your truck, referred to as the ‘chattel’ is used as security against the loan. On signing the chattel mortgage agreement – you take ownership of your truck straight away and make monthly repayments as per the agreement. Refinancing your commercial truck loan with chattel mortgage could provide:

  • Lower interest rates
  • Reduced monthly payments
  • Improved cash flow
  • Better loan terms
  • Access to equity
  • Tax benefits
  • Flexible repayment options

Commercial Hire Purchase (CHP)

Jade Finance also offers the ability to refinance your commercial truck loan with CHP. In a CHP agreement, you will set a fixed monthly payment amount for a specified term, and a residual value will often be included. By refinancing with CHP, similar benefits to chattel mortgages can be achieved, with the addition of fixed payments for easier budgeting and ownership benefits at the end of the CHP agreement.

No Deposit Refinancing

Ease your business’ financial pressures by refinancing your truck loan via a no deposit loan. This type of truck loan restructuring eliminates the need for a down payment. Our brokers can discuss this option with you and highlight the upsides and considerations relevant to this refinancing decision.

What Does Refinancing a Balloon or Residual Mean?

A balloon payment, also known as a residual payment, is the final amount due on a loan that is structured as a series of small monthly payments. The ‘balloon’ is a single much larger sum due at the end of the loan period.

Finance with residual is a loan product that offers lower repayments throughout the loan term and is popular among those seeking lower weekly, fortnightly, or monthly repayment structures. A balloon can often help individuals maintain a reasonable cash-flow or savings and are offered as an option for home mortgages, auto loans, and business loans.

As the term ‘balloon’ hints – the final payment on this type of loan can be quite large. However, this sum is dependent on the length of the loan term, asset type, and the value of the asset. If you get to the end of your loan term and you can’t afford your residual payment, you can refinance it into smaller regular monthly payments similar to the original loan. There are a variety of advantages and disadvantages to consider when refinancing in this way.

Residual Payment ProsResidual Payment Cons
  • Spread out the payments
  • Fixed interest rates
  • Improved cash flow
  • Avoiding default
  • Extended debt term
  • Higher total interest paid
  • Qualification challenges
  • Potential application, appraisal & closing costs
