Equipment Finance
Plant and Equipment Finance
Finance Lease
This is the most common form of Lease agreement, usually preferred by private companies who like to acquire the asset at the end of the lease by offering to pay the pre-determined “residual” value. Terms, residuals and rental frequency can be structured to suit a client's specific cashflow requirements, or to maximize tax benefits during the lease period. Lease payments are usually fixed at the beginning of the Lease term, although variable rate facilities may be available for facilities over $1 million.
Operating Lease
Larger corporates and Government departments favour Operating Leases as they are treated as an “operating” rather than a “capital” expense. i.e. equipment can be acquired against an operating budget without the need to obtain capital expenditure approval. Both the asset and liability remain off the balance sheet, which leaves gearing ratios in tact.
Chattel Mortgage/Hire Purchase
Chattel Mortgage and Hire Purchase (also known as Asset Purchase) are usually preferred by private companies who like to ultimately own their equipment. These facilities often suit cashflow as a GST input credit is still available even though the asset has not been fully paid for. Fixed or variable rate structures are available over terms of up to ten years. Interest rates are usually fixed at the beginning of the term, although variable rate facilities may be available for facilities over $1 million.
