Top Things to know before you get your Truck Finance

If you’re looking to get your brand new dream truck financed – or at least, it will be your brand new truck instead of just the truck quite literally of your dreams once you do manage to get it financed – it’s very important to ask the right questions and know what you need.

Unlike regular car loans, a truck loan is about more than just the vehicle itself. That truck is bound up in your hopes and dreams of a new business, new independence, much-desired opportunities. It’s your little stairway to heaven – alright, a small slice of heaven, but you’ve got to start somewhere.

There are so many options for truck loans in Australia that picking the right one can be a bewildering experience, just like picking the right truck is. So make sure you get all your truck financing options right before you pick one. 

It’s more complicated than just getting a car loan, so these are a few extra things to consider:

·         What business do you need your truck for? This will determine what kind of truck you need, what kind of modifications you need for your truck and so on. This is important: you need to make sure that the loan covers any kind of modifications you need to make your truck perfect for your business. Get the vehicle that’s right for you.

·         Will your business plan pass muster? Yes, this is none of the banks’ business. We get that. But your truck is integral to your business, and the chances of you paying your loan back goes down considerably if your business goes belly-up. So you need to make sure that you have your business plan in order to satisfy the banks, too, because they could very well ask.

·         Now the obvious one: how is your credit rating and history? If you have bad credit, it doesn’t mean that all doors are closed to you. We can still help you get your truck finance ; that’s the kind of thing we do. We might not work miracles, but this is right up our alley. It might take longer, and you might have to make a few more compromises, but pick up your phone and make that call.

·         What about your driving licence? If you have an international driving permit, this will have an impact on your truck loan in Australia. You might need to rethink your options even if you think you’ve done all your research. If you’re on an international visa or PR, there will be further checks, too, so you’ve got to get a lot of things in order. Again, we can help you do that and get your truck financed in Perth.

Apart from these, of course, there are the standard questions that need to be asked when you’re getting a loan at all. Interest rates, loan term, accounting fees, balloon payments, ongoing fees, penalties for late/early/extra payments – these are just a quick preview of all the usual things to watch out for. Yes, it’s a fairly complicated business, which is why there are people like us who will help you get the truck loan that’s perfect for you.
