Chattel Mortgage

Purpose   Provides finance for companies and business professionals to purchase goods such as motor vehicles, trucks, earthmoving, industrial plant and professional equipment, which are for business use more than 50% of the time.
 
How it works   You take ownership of the goods upon delivery and eCarLoans secures the loan by registering a charge over the goods.  
 


Product Benefits

Minimal capital outlay   You own the goods your business needs without paying for them up-front with eCarLoans Chattel mortgage. So you can put your day-to-day cash flow to better use.

Tax deductible   A Chattel mortgage may provide tax benefits if the financed goods are used to produce assessable income. Speak to your accountant for further information about tax benefits.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)   As you take ownership of the goods at delivery, you may be able to claim all or part of the GST as an input tax credit on your next BAS (Business Activity Statement). Please check with your accountant or tax advisor for their advice and your eligibility.

No deposit   100 per cent finance is available to approved customers, so you don’t have to tie up your day-to-day cash flow.
 
Seasonal payments   Repayments can be tailored to suit seasonal cash flow. You can also arrange to make a balloon payment at the end of the loan to reduce repayments throughout the term.
 
Early repayment   You have the flexibility to repay the contract in full before the term ends.
 
Interest rates   Your new equipment acts as the security for the loan, so we can offer you a competitive interest rate, which will be fixed throughout the life of the loan.

Lease

Purpose   Available for companies and business professionals to allow them to use business goods such as motor vehicles, trucks, industrial plant, professional or earthmoving equipment.
 
How it works   eCarLoans purchases the equipment or vehicle you require and then leases the goods to you. You then enjoy the use of the vehicle or equipment for an agreed time in return for a series of rental repayments. 
You can finance the outlay you’ve already made for goods purchased in the last twelve months.
 
What is the lease agreement?   The lease agreement sets out the:
residual value of the goods
term of the lease in months
monthly rental
depreciation rate 
 
When the lease expires   You can choose to:
Return the equipment to eCarLoans who can sell it in the market place (you would need to make up the shortfall if the net sale was less than the agreed residual value)
Take up any invitation that we may give you to purchase the equipment

Tax deductible Rental   Payments are fully tax deductible if the equipment is used solely for earning assessable income. Speak to your accountant for further information about tax benefits.
 
Free up other valuable assets   The equipment being purchased is normally sufficient security for the finance – your other business assets are not required as security.
 
Interest rates   The rentals are fixed throughout the life of the loan.

Novated Lease

Purpose   For employees who have the option of receiving a car as part of their salary package. The employer pays all rental payments to eCarLoans and the employee enjoys full use of the motor vehicle.
 
How it works   The employee chooses a car and leases it from eCarLoans. The employee then novates the lease to their employer, who assumes all the employee’s rights and obligations under the lease, including responsibility of meeting the lease rentals. The contract is in the name of the employee who remains the registered owner throughout the lease and keeps effective control of the vehicle at all times.

If the employee leaves the company, the vehicle remains with the employee. In this situation generally the employee takes over the payments or gets another employer to make the payments. This means, the original employer is not left with an unwanted car and the employee keeps the vehicle.


Product Benefits

Benefits for employees   Use of the vehicle without having to budget for the repayments.
Option to buy the vehicle without a deposit or the hassle of being reimbursed from your employer. 
Complete choice about what car you buy and where you buy it from.
Retain the car even if changing employment.
 
Benefits for employers   If the employee leaves, the company is not left with an unwanted car.
The employer can provide the employee with a car without having to reflect it on its balance sheet.
