What is the process of getting a business car loan?

Securing a business car loan involves a slightly different process compared to personal car loans. Here’s how it works:

Determine Your Budget and Needs
Start by assessing your business needs and budget. Consider how the vehicle will be used, the type of car required, and how much you can afford in terms of monthly payments, taking into account your business cash flow.

Review Your Business Financials
Lenders will typically require proof of your business’s financial health. Gather documents such as bank statements, profit and loss statements, and tax returns. The stronger your business finances, the more favourable the loan terms you can secure. If you prefer a low documentation business loan, head to our low doc page under "commercial loans."

Get Pre-Approved & Select Car
Once pre-approved, you can choose an asset that fits your business requirements. Make sure to consider factors such as the vehicle’s suitability for business tasks, fuel efficiency, and potential tax benefits.

Review, Sign & Take Delivery
Once approved, we review the loan terms with you, making sure you understand all details. We help you finalise and sign the agreement. After the loan has settled, you can take delivery of your car. We'll continue to be available for any further support in the future.

What are the benefits of a business car loan?

Improved Cash Flow
A business car loan allows you to spread the cost of the vehicle over time, helping preserve your working capital. This means your business can maintain liquidity for other expenses or investments, rather than tying up a large sum in a single purchase.

Tax Benefits
Depending on your location and how the vehicle is used, you may be eligible for tax deductions on your business car loan. These can include deductions for vehicle depreciation, fuel, insurance, and other related expenses, potentially lowering your overall tax bill.

Build Business Credit
Regular, on-time payments on a business car loan can help improve your business credit score. This, in turn, can make it easier to secure future financing for other business needs, such as expansion or additional equipment.

Access to Reliable Vehicles
A business car loan gives you the flexibility to choose a reliable vehicle that suits your business needs. Whether it’s a van for deliveries or a car for client meetings, financing allows you to get the vehicle that will enhance your business operations without straining your budget.

What are other things to consider when getting a business car loan?

Loan Repayment Terms

Make sure the loan terms align with your business’s cash flow. Consider the repayment period, interest rates, and how monthly payments will impact your budget. A longer loan term can lower monthly payments but might cost more in interest over time.

Business Use and Tax Implications

If the vehicle is used for business purposes, it may qualify for tax deductions, such as depreciation or mileage. However, if you use the vehicle for personal purposes as well, ensure you understand how that may affect the deductions you can claim.

Maintenance and Operating Costs

Beyond the loan, consider the ongoing costs of owning a vehicle, such as maintenance, insurance, and fuel. These expenses can add up, so ensure they fit within your overall business budget.
