Hospitality Equipment Finance FAQs

Almost all commercially used hospitality equipment can be financed, including new and used equipment from major manufacturers. Finance is available for individual units and fleets, and many lenders can include attachments, delivery and installation costs in the same facility.

For most GST-registered businesses, a chattel mortgage delivers the best outcome: immediate ownership, upfront GST credit in the next BAS, and deductibility of interest and depreciation. Finance lease suits businesses that prefer 100% deductible payments. Operating lease offers the lowest repayments with end-of-term upgrade flexibility.

Indicative rates for hospitality equipment finance start from around 6.29% p.a. on a chattel mortgage. The actual rate depends on your credit profile, business trading history, asset age, and chosen lender.

Yes — specialist lenders cater for businesses with less-than-perfect credit or short trading history. A larger deposit (10–20%) can improve approval odds and reduce the rate. A broker can identify the right lender for your situation and structure your application for the best outcome.

Under a chattel mortgage, you pay the full purchase price (GST included) and then claim the GST in your next BAS return. Under a finance lease, GST is spread across rental payments. Confirm with your accountant which structure best suits your GST reporting cycle.
