Q: How long does it take for an approval?
A: Applications are usually be approved within 24 hours.
Q: Do I have to submit my businesses financials?
A: It is often possible to finance your purchase without showing your business financial details.
Q: I have not finalised my purchase yet. Is it possible to get pre-approval?
A: Yes. Many of our clients get their finance pre-approved first before confirming their order with the vendor. This can also strengthen your position when it comes to negotiating with the vendor or car dealer to get the best price. If you have your loan already approved the seller then knows you are serious about buying and that you have the funds available immediately. They know if they can give you a good price on the vehicle etc. they can have a quick settlement.
Q: Do my repayments increase if interest rates go up?
A: NO. When your finance has settled and the vendor has been paid the repayments are fixed. They will not increase if rates go up.

A: Yes. Simply phone our accounts department and they will provide you with a payout figure.

A: No. We can also finance used equipment and demo models.
