How It Works

From comparing finance structures to settling your new asset — here's the full process in four simple steps.

1

Compare Finance Structures

Start with our free calculator. Enter your asset value, deposit, loan term, and interest rate. The calculator instantly shows you estimated monthly repayments, total cost, and Year 1 tax deductions across three finance structures:

  • Chattel Mortgage — Own the asset from day one, claim GST on purchase, deduct interest and depreciation
  • Finance Lease — Lease with a residual value, deduct 100% of lease payments, choose to purchase at end
  • Operating Lease — Off-balance sheet, deduct lease payments as an operating expense, return the asset at end

Not sure which structure suits you? Our comparison guides break down the differences in plain language.

Explore our library of free guides tailored to your asset type:

Each guide covers typical finance ranges, which structures work best, deposit requirements, and what brokers look for when assessing your application.

3

Get Matched with a Broker

When you're ready, request a free broker match. We connect you with a licensed Australian finance broker who specialises in your asset type and region.

What happens next:

  • You submit a brief enquiry (asset type, value, your ABN)
  • We match you with a specialist broker within the same business day
  • The broker contacts you with tailored finance options
  • You compare offers with no obligation to proceed

Cost to you: $0. We receive a referral fee from the broker only if you proceed to settlement. This never affects your rate or loan terms.

4

Settle & Protect Your Asset

Once you've chosen a broker and finance structure, settlement typically takes 24–72 hours for standard applications. After that, your asset is delivered and you're in business.

But the journey doesn't end at settlement. Our Protect & Maintain hub helps you:

  • Insure your asset with the right cover
  • Manage fuel costs with fleet fuel cards
  • Plan maintenance schedules to protect residual value
  • Track fleet performance and compliance
