ABN ONLY FINANCE

Equipment Finance When Your ABN Is All You Have

ABN only finance is not a shortcut around proper assessment. Lenders still evaluate your creditworthiness. The difference is they accept your ABN registration, clean credit file, and relevant experience as evidence of your capacity to repay, rather than demanding years of financial documentation you do not yet have.

Starting a business or recently registered your ABN? Banks want two years of trading history, lodged tax returns, and accountant prepared financials before they will consider your application. We work with lenders who take a different approach, assessing your application based on your ABN, credit history, industry experience, and the equipment you are purchasing.

Every successful business started with a new ABN and zero trading history.

The biggest challenge for new business owners is the catch 22: you need equipment to earn, but you need earnings history to get equipment finance. ABN only options break this cycle by letting your experience and the asset quality speak for themselves.

WHY CHOOSE US

How ABN Only Finance Works

ABN only lenders assess your application differently from traditional banks. Understanding their criteria helps you position your application for the best chance of approval.

Feature Icon Image

Your credit history matters most

With limited trading history, your personal credit file becomes the primary assessment tool. Clean credit with no defaults or late payments significantly improves your chances and rate.

Feature Icon Image

Industry experience counts

A new ABN does not mean a new operator. If you have years of experience driving trucks, operating excavators, or running machinery, lenders recognise this as evidence of your capability.

Feature Icon Image

The asset is your security

Lenders are lending against the equipment, not just against you. A new truck from a major brand is lower risk than an old machine from an unknown manufacturer. Asset choice affects approval.

Feature Icon Image

Work contracts strengthen applications

If you have a subcontract, letter of engagement, or confirmed work pipeline, this significantly strengthens your ABN only application by demonstrating future income.
