Cashtech · asset & equipment finance

Equipment and asset finance

When a business needs equipment, machinery or vehicles, paying cash up front is rarely the smartest move. We compare equipment and asset finance across our whole lender panel and match the structure to how you use the asset.

What this category does

When asset finance fits.

Almost any business asset with a resale value can be financed: machinery and plant, manufacturing and processing equipment, commercial and industrial vehicles, trucks and trailers, earthmoving and construction equipment, medical and dental equipment, hospitality fit-outs, IT and office equipment. New or used. Financing keeps your cash in the business, makes the cost predictable, and matches the expense to the period the asset earns its keep.

Choosing between chattel mortgage, hire purchase, finance lease and operating lease depends on whether you want to own the asset, how long you will keep it, and the tax treatment that suits you. We will talk it through and your accountant can confirm the tax side. Asset finance pricing and appetite vary a lot between lenders, and some lenders favour particular asset types or industries - we know which lend well on which assets and handle the comparison.

How we work

Four steps from brief to settlement.

  1. 01

    Understand the situation

    A 20-minute call to understand the use of funds, trading history, and timing. We pre-qualify against current lender appetite before anything goes to a lender.

  2. 02

    Shortlist the lenders

    Three to six lenders typically fit any given commercial scenario. We submit to the two with the strongest current rate and policy fit, not the entire panel.

  3. 03

    Compare apples to apples

    Approvals come back as term sheets with different fee structures. We translate them into effective annual cost so the comparison is honest.

  4. 04

    Settle and review

    Documentation signs electronically, funds settle to your operating account or the supplier. We follow up at 6 and 12 months to check the rate is still right.

How introductions work. In Phase 1, Cashtech makes introductions between qualified business situations and the lenders best suited to fund them. We are a service offered by Trimorph Pty Ltd ABN 87 604 290 931. Information on this site is general in nature and does not take into account your objectives, financial situation, or needs.
