Three questions to ask an asset finance broker before you sign anything. If they fumble one, keep walking. ๐ฉ
Equipment finance in Canberra and regional NSW has quietly got more expensive, and most tradies, farmers and business owners donโt find out until repayment number seven.
So before you commit to a truck, ute, excavator or tractor:
1๏ธโฃ How many lenders do you actually have access to? One lender is not a panel. A real broker shops your deal across the market so your asset gets funded at the right rate, not just the easy one.
2๏ธโฃ What will this loan really cost me? Not the weekly repayment. The whole picture. Interest rate, brokerage fee, balloon payment, term, early payout. Chattel mortgage or finance lease. If they canโt break it down in plain English, thatโs your answer.
3๏ธโฃ Will you look after me start to finish? Or do you vanish the second the deal settles? Machinery finance shouldnโt feel like being handed between four departments and a hold tone.
Speed, simplicity and someone who actually picks up the phone. Thatโs the whole job.
