"Kwinana industrial strip supply to BP refinery, Tianqi lithium and CBH terminal is steady contract work but the bank read it as one-off freight. A non-bank that understands industrial supply took the deal on real income."
"Kwinana Freeway linehaul to Perth, twice a day, same lane seven 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."
"Five trucks for a Kwinana lithium contract and the bank wanted property security across the whole order. The lender we ended up with took the contract as the asset case."
"Garden Island defense supply is contract-based with strict procurement protocols. A non-bank that understood defense contractor income cycle took the deal on the contract case."
"Distribution out of the Bibra Lake and Naval Base industrial precincts is steady contract work but the bank read it as one-off freight. A non-bank that understands DC supply took the deal on real income."

Straight answers to the questions Rockingham 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 Rockingham 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 Rockingham 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 Rockingham 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 Rockingham 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 Rockingham 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 Rockingham 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. Prime movers, tippers, low loaders, side-loaders, B-doubles and specialist plant for Kwinana industrial strip supply to BP refinery, Tianqi lithium and CBH terminal are routinely financed through specialist transport lenders on our panel.
Yes. Refrigerated rigids, prime movers and reefer trailers for Rockingham, Bibra Lake, Naval Base and Perth south metro DC distribution are financed through specialist lenders who understand DC supply cycles.
