Overview
A chattel mortgage allows your business to purchase vehicles, machinery, or equipment while using the asset itself as security. It’s a flexible and tax‑effective finance structure commonly used by businesses looking to acquire essential assets without disrupting cashflow. At Southern Cross Wealth Partners, we help you understand lender requirements, compare repayment structures, and select an option that aligns with your operational needs and long‑term financial objectives.
We guide you through how chattel mortgages work — including ownership benefits, GST treatment, balloon payments, and depreciation considerations. Our team manages the application process from start to finish, ensuring your documentation is accurate and your finance is structured efficiently. With access to a broad panel of commercial lenders, we help you secure competitive terms that support your business strategy.
Key Features
- Ownership Benefits: The asset becomes yours from day one, subject to the mortgage.
- Tax Advantages: Potential GST and depreciation benefits depending on your business structure.
- Flexible Repayments: Options for balloon payments, tailored terms, and cashflow‑aligned structures.
- Wide Lender Choice: Access to competitive commercial lenders offering industry‑specific solutions.
Considerations
- Balloon Payments: Lower repayments today may mean a larger final payment.
- Asset Type: Lenders may have restrictions based on asset class or age.
- Documentation Requirements: Invoices, financials, and asset details may be required.
- Business Strategy: Finance should support long‑term operational and tax planning.
