    Hi Lee

    Dont hardly do a deal these days as very limit market place but usually over 3-4 years and residual will depend on what the machinery is.

    Not a great answer but not much to go on.

    Cheers

    Equipment finance is what your after.
    You can only do this sort of finance in a company name or personal purchase etc…

    Finance can go from 1-5 years and for bigger projects and bigger companies it can be extended to 15 years.
    And yes there are residual value,but that will depend on the valuer’s comments etc..

    Hi Lee,

    Generally the 3 options for this are a lease, a commercial hire purchase, or a Chattel Mortgage. Nearly all asset finance I do is now a Chattel mortgage, which seems to suit the majority, and most accountants seem to prefer too. The machinery is bought in your name, and the bank/lender takes a mortgage over it. You pay it out, and it is yours. A good lender will allow you to be flexible with your repayment structure (for example if you have seasonal work that affects cashflow) and generally terms from 1 to 5 years.
    You can also choose to have a residual or balloon payment, or have nil – again up to you with a good lender, depending on what you want to do at the end of the term (keep? sell? update?) With asset finance I arrange, we prefer the goods to be no older than 7 years at then end of the term, although this is not 'carved in stone' for large equipment & machinery.
    You will get competitive rates this way too (7.5 to 9.5% depending on what it is – car is different rate to a bulldozer) and also be able to claim back your gst, interest, and depreciation.
    So……go shopping!

    Cheers

    say for an example if i was to buy a brand new piece of equipment for 500k including gst what is the monthly repayment that i would be looking at with or without residule. i have been offered x amount of dollars a month and just wondering if it would stack up as a viable option
