Equipment Loans can help whether you’re starting a new business, expanding operations or upgrading outdated tools, allowing you to access the machinery and assets you need without paying the full cost upfront.

At Open Doors Finance – Mortgage Brokers, we outline your available options, explain lender requirements and support you through the process from application to settlement.

We help you make informed decisions based on your goals, cashflow and long-term plans.

What Is Equipment Finance?

Equipment finance allows businesses to purchase or lease assets over time. Instead of using large upfront capital, lenders provide funding that is repaid through structured instalments.

It can be used for a wide range of business equipment, depending on lender policy and your industry needs.

How We Support Your Equipment Finance Needs

Understanding Your Business Goals

We begin by reviewing your operations, cashflow, industry and purpose of the asset.

Outlining Suitable Finance Structures

We explain the differences between loans, leases and hire arrangements, based on your needs.

Assessing Lender Requirements

Lenders consider business age, revenue, industry type, asset class, security position and repayment capacity.
We help you understand these requirements early.

Preparing Documentation

We assist with tax returns, BAS statements, financials, bank statements, ID and quotes needed for assessment.

Supporting You Through Settlement

Once approved, we guide you through settlement, equipment purchase steps and lender documentation.

Key Considerations Before Applying

Before choosing equipment finance, it’s important to understand:

Loan/lease terms and payment frequency

Ownership structure (loan vs lease)

Depreciation and accounting treatment (we provide explanations only — not tax advice)

Business cashflow requirements

Asset age, condition & valuation requirements

Fees, ongoing charges & end-of-term conditions

We explain each factor clearly and help you prepare for the process.

Types of Equipment Finance

Chattel Mortgage

A common structure where you own the equipment from day one, while the lender takes security over the asset.

Equipment Loan

A standard business loan used to purchase equipment.

Finance Lease

You lease the equipment from the lender for an agreed term, with potential options at the end (dependant on lender policy).

Operating Lease

Often used for short-term or rapidly depreciating items. At the end of the lease you may return, upgrade or extend.

Hire Purchase

The lender buys the equipment, and you hire it over an agreed period before taking ownership at the end.
We explain how each structure operates and the potential implications for your cash flow.

Equip Your Business with Confidence

If you’re ready to expand or upgrade your business assets, Open Doors Finance is here to support you with a clear, structured equipment finance process.
