"Port of Bunbury container and bulk drayage is contract-based but the bank read it as one-off. A non-bank that understood the port contract took the deal. The side-loader has been earning since and we have added a second wharf client."
"South West dairy and refrigerated produce haul runs year-round but income cycle shifts with the season. The bank ignored the cycle. A non-bank read the actual income cycle and structured repayments accordingly."
"Mineral sands supply to Capel and Eneabba is steady contract work but the bank read it as one-off freight. A non-bank that understands resource sector supply took the deal on real income."
"Five trucks for a Picton industrial precinct contract and the bank wanted property security across the whole order. The lender we ended up with took the contract as the asset case."
"Donnybrook fruit and South West orchard haul peaks in season and dies in slack. The bank ignored the cycle. A non-bank read the actual income cycle and structured repayments around the cycle."

"Forrest Highway linehaul to Perth, twice a week, same lane eight years. The bank still wants three years of full financials every time. The non-bank took the two recent BAS quarters and the route history."
"Six refrigerated rigids for an Australind cold chain fit-out and our bank wanted property security across the order. The lender that took the cold chain contract as the asset case let us keep the warehouse out of it."
"Tipper work on the Bunbury Outer Ring Road subcontract is steady but the head contractor pays on progress claims. Dealer finance would not match. The lender we used structured the loan to how the site pays."
"Crane truck for a tier-one builder on a Bunbury Port expansion. Bank turnaround was not going to make first pour. A lender that scores on active contracts took the deal."
"Bought a 2019 Kenworth at the dealer auction for the Forrest Highway shuttle to Perth. You have about a day to find the money or you forfeit the deposit. A non-bank had it sorted before the next pickup cycle."

Straight answers to the questions Bunbury transport operators ask most.
We finance prime movers, rigid trucks, tippers, refrigerated units, B-doubles, trailers and specialty trucks across all major makes including Kenworth, Volvo, Mack, Iveco, Hino, MAN, Isuzu and Scania. New, used, demonstrator, dealer or private sale.
Pre-approval is typically inside 24 hours once you submit the form. Settlement timing then depends on the lender and asset details, with many Bunbury deals settling within a week of pre-approval.
No. Many of our lenders score the deal on freight income and asset value rather than requiring property security. Non-property owners regularly settle truck finance through Equifund.
Not always. $0 deposit is available for prime applications, especially for established operators with active freight contracts. Other deals may require a deposit depending on the asset, the lender and the loan term.
Yes. We finance dealer purchases, private sales, auctions and end-of-lease buyouts. The truck just needs to meet the lender's age and condition requirements.
Yes. Many Bunbury operators refinance to access a better rate, restructure repayments around their income cycle, release equity from the asset, or consolidate multiple truck loans into one facility.
We have a panel of 80+ Australian lenders spanning major banks, specialist asset financiers and non-bank lenders that specifically understand freight income and transport assets. Your specialist matches your file to the right lender for the deal.
Yes. We regularly settle multi-truck deals for Bunbury fleets, often splitting the package across more than one lender to fit each asset's spec and your overall structure.
Yes. Prime movers, trailers, refrigerated units and combinations are all on the panel. Trailer security can be structured independently of truck finance if that better suits the deal.
A chattel mortgage gives you immediate ownership of the truck while the lender holds it as security. You claim GST upfront and depreciate the truck for tax. It is the most common structure for established Bunbury owner-operators. A finance lease keeps the truck on the lender's books with set monthly payments and an optional residual paid at the end of the term. Useful for fleet operators managing repayments against vehicle turnover. Your Australia-based truck finance specialist will recommend the structure that suits your business and tax position. Read the full chattel mortgage vs finance lease comparison.
Freight income recognition is how a specialist lender reads income from freight invoices, contractor payments and transport activity rather than treating only PAYG salary as income. Bank credit templates often miss this. Specialist lenders price freight income accurately, which is why established Bunbury owner-operators frequently get approved on deals that mainstream banks decline.
Low-doc truck finance is approval on a reduced documentation set, usually a Director declaration plus business activity statements or recent bank statements, rather than full financials. It is faster to process and common for established small-fleet operators in Bunbury who would rather not produce two years of full tax returns for a single asset purchase.
Pre-approval is a conditional finance approval issued before you commit to a truck. It sets the maximum loan amount, indicative rate, term and repayment structure so you can negotiate with dealers, private sellers or auction houses on solid ground. Equifund pre-approvals are typically issued within 24 hours of form submission.
An Australian Credit Licence (ACL) is a licence issued by ASIC permitting a business to engage in credit activities under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act. Equifund holds Australian Credit Licence 389328. Working with an ACL holder is a baseline regulatory protection for the borrower and a baseline trust signal for any Australian finance provider.
Yes. Refrigerated rigids, prime movers and reefer trailers for WA South West dairy, Donnybrook fruit, Harvey beef and Margaret River refrigerated supply are routinely financed through specialist transport lenders on our panel. Lenders understand seasonal income cycle patterns and structure repayments accordingly.
Yes. Tippers, concrete agitators, low loaders and plant for subcontractors on the Bunbury Outer Ring Road, Bussell Highway upgrades and WA South West infrastructure are financed through lenders who understand head-contractor progress-claim payment terms and tier-one subcontract structures.
