What shapes a plant file

We read the file before we pick the lender.

Brand and resale matter

Credit teams read different brands differently — resale curve, parts network, age ceiling. It changes which lender is the right home for the machine.

First machine, growing business

Stepping from sub-contractor to owning your own plant is exactly the kind of file a bank gets nervous about. It's the file we're built for.

Private-sale plant

Buying used direct from another operator needs paperwork most sellers don't have ready. We run that list so settlement doesn't stall.

Before you send it through

Who this desk is for.

Worth thirty seconds — it saves you a call you didn't need and gets the right files moving faster.

Send it through if

  • You've got an ABN — trading now, or just starting with work lined up
  • The gear earns its keep: trucks, plant, ag, fit-out, work vehicles
  • Dealer, auction, or a private sale out of someone's paddock
  • New, aged, or a file another desk has already knocked back

We're not the right desk if

  • It's a personal or household buy — the family car, a caravan, a weekend boat
  • There's no ABN behind the purchase
  • The asset doesn't produce income — this desk funds gear that works

If that's you, don't waste your afternoon on the form — a consumer lender or your own bank will do it better than we can.

Sounds like your file? Two minutes on the form and you'll have an indicative answer inside 24 hours.
