Perth owner-operators, subcontractors and small-fleet operators are knocked back by banks, stalled in single-lender queues, and locked into single products by dealer finance. Whether you run iron ore haul up Great Northern Highway to the Pilbara, mining supply runs to Kalgoorlie and the Goldfields, container drayage between Fremantle Port and the Kewdale intermodal, refrigerated runs to the Welshpool and Canning Vale DCs, grain haul from the Wheatbelt, or plant and tippers feeding METRONET and the Forrestfield-Airport Link infrastructure pipeline.

Compare rates, structures and lenders in our full guide to the best truck finance options in Australia.
| Equifund, commercial finance specialist | Major bank | Dealer finance | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who they lend to | Established ABN holders, sole traders to fleets, assessed on the business and the asset. | Prefers strong financials or PAYG strength, often backed by property. | Whoever is buying that brand at the desk, on a take-it-or-leave-it offer. |
| Income assessed | Freight, contract and BAS income. Low-doc for established ABNs, no full tax returns. | Full financials and tax returns usually required. | Limited, tied to the sale, not your wider business. |
| Lender choice | 80+ Australian lenders matched to your deal. | One bank, one credit template. | One or two aligned financiers only. |
| Rate & structure | Indicative rates from 6.99% p.a. Market-tested structure with balloon, 3 to 7 year terms and extra repayments. | Standard products with limited flexibility. | Rate loaded with dealer margin, and high balloons that flatter the monthly but cost more. |
| Used, private & auction | New, used, ex-fleet, private-sale and auction all financed. | Restrictive on used, private and auction buys. | Usually the dealer's own stock only. |
| Deposit & security | $0 deposit for prime applications, secured on the truck, not your home. | Deposit and often property security required. | Varies, frequently bundled with add-ons. |
| Pre-approval speed | Typically inside 24 to 48 hours. | 5 to 10 business days on average. | Fast at the desk, but the offer is fixed. |

Perth truck finance settled across 80+ Australian lenders, from owner-operators to mid-size fleets. ACL 389328.
"Container drayage between Fremantle Port and the Kewdale intermodal doesn't read like standard freight to a bank. A non-bank lender that understood the wharf-to-rail movement took the deal. The side-loader has been running consistently since, and we have added a second wharf client this year."
"Five trucks for a contract starting at the new Canning Vale DC and the bank wanted property security across the whole order. The lender we ended up with took the DC contract as the asset case. The trucks were ready for the contract start and we have since picked up two adjacent runs to the same operator."
"Iron ore haul up Great Northern Highway to the Pilbara is steady work but the bank kept treating it like standard freight income and pricing in a buffer that did not exist. A non-bank that understood the mining supply cycle structured repayments accordingly. We have been able to add a second prime mover to cover peak rotations."
"Tipper work on the Forrestfield-Airport Link subcontract is steady but the head contractor pays on progress claims, not flat monthly cycles. Dealer finance would not match that to the repayment cycle. The lender we used structured the loan around how the site actually pays, and I have committed to a second METRONET project without overstretching."
"Six refrigerated rigids for a Welshpool DC 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. We have since picked up a second freezer DC contract on the same business basis."

"Wanted a late-model used Kenworth prime mover for the Goldfields haul to Kalgoorlie. The dealer's offer was going to eat the lane margin. A non-bank that understands route economics took the deal on the used spec without grinding the price. The truck has been on the lane every week since."
"Perth to Adelaide via the Eyre Highway, twice a fortnight, same lane for eight years. The bank still wants three years of full financials every time. The non-bank we got matched with took the two recent BAS quarters and the route history. Replaced the prime mover without losing a turnaround."
"Wheatbelt grain haul peaks in harvest and dies through winter. The bank kept ignoring the seasonality and pricing in a buffer. A non-bank that read the actual cash cycle structured repayments around harvest, and we have been able to commit to a second triple for the next season."
"Crane truck for a tier-one builder on a Perth CBD project. Bank turnaround was not going to make first pour. A lender that scores on active contracts and operator experience took the deal. The truck made the site, the contract delivered, and we have been on three more fit-outs with the same builder since."
"Bought a 2019 Kenworth at the dealer auction for the Pilbara refrigerated supply run. 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, and the truck has been earning since. Paying down toward the next one."

Straight answers to the questions Perth 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 Perth 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 Perth 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 Perth 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 Perth 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 Perth 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 Perth 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 Perth 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.
