Common questions on forklift finance answered

What financing options are available?

At Savvy we can finance all types of forklifts – big or small, private or dealer, anywhere in Australia.

What is a residual payment?

Residual payments which are also known as balloon payments are ways to reduce your monthly finance repayments by deferring a percentage of the vehicle purchase price until the end of the finance contract. You can either pay this in cash or own the vehicle at the end of the term.

Can I pay out my loan early?

Yes. We have financial offers that allow for an early repayment.

Are my monthly payments tax-deductible?

This will depend on the type of finances you choose. You can check with your tax consultant to get the exact potential tax benefits for your equipment lease.

Can I still get financing if I am self-employed?

Yes. We have financing solutions for people who are self-employed and new businesses. Chattel mortgages are the most popular tax effective solutions.

More on forklift finance

Fixed vs variable rate

Choosing the features of your financing options such as a fixed or variable rate can give you more breathing room in better managing your cash flow. Fixed rates are beneficial for businesses that want to repay a consistent amount that they can factor into their budget, but a variable rate is also beneficial to businesses that want to save on expenses when the interest rate decreases instead of staying fixed. The final decision will have to be made based on what will work for your business

Manage risks better

In business, every decision you make can either make or cost you money. With equipment financing from industry experts, you will be able to navigate your way to an option that keeps the various aspects of your business in mind. Forklift finance can help you mitigate the uncertainty of investing in capital asset while your business is still in the process of generating projected returns. There are options that allow you to increase the efficiency of your business and get the job done.

Chattel mortgage

Knowing the financing options that are available to you can help you better finance your equipment. Chattel mortgages are an alternative way to help you own your equipment outright from the start of the agreement between you and your lender. Chattel mortgages come with competitive rates to help you purchase a forklift. You can also reduce your initial payments by paying off the residual or balloon payment at the end of the financing contract to buy the forklift.

Asset lease

With this type of financing, you lease the equipment from the lender and pay a fixed amount for each month of its use. It is a financing option that comes with low initial costs. The residual on the lease can be paid at the end of the loan term which gives you the ownership of the equipment, or you could choose to refinance and extend the lease term or opt to sell the equipment. It can also help reduce the cost in tax since the equipment is owned by your lender.
