Types of Truck Finance

Chattel Mortgage

A popular option where you take ownership of the truck from the start, while the lender holds security over the asset.

Commercial Hire Purchase

You hire the truck over an agreed period and gain ownership at the end of the term.

Finance Lease

You lease the truck from the lender and have options at the end of the term, depending on the lender’s policy.

Operating Lease

Typically used for short-term or rapidly depreciating assets with flexibility to upgrade or return at the end.

Each structure has different obligations, tax treatment and end-of-term outcomes. We explain the differences clearly (without providing tax advice).

Move Your Business Forward with Confidence

Whether you’re upgrading a truck or building a fleet, Open Doors Finance provides clear and structured guidance to help you explore your commercial vehicle finance options with confidence.
