Looking for vehicle or equipment finance?
We can match you with a perfect lender for either personal or business asset finance.
Whether you are looking to secure a car loan for yourself, or machinery for your business, we can help in finding the best options out there.

Personal Asset Finance

Car Finance
New or used? Whether you're buying a new or used car, financing options differ. New car loans typically offer lower interest rates, making them more affordable. For older fossil cars (15–25 years), some lenders may decline financing altogether. Without access to a broad lender panel, you could end up with an unsecured loan at higher rates, increasing your costs.

Secured or unsecured?
Secured car loans use the vehicle as collateral, offering lower interest rates and better terms but risking repossession if payments are missed. Unsecured car loans don't require collateral, but often come with higher interest rates. Such loan is ideal when the vehicle doesn’t qualify as collateral (old or rare) or flexibility is required for expenses like insurance or upgrades.

Caravan & Motorcycle finance
Newer motorcycles typically attract lower interest rates due to reliability and resale value, while older bikes often come with higher premiums. For collector's motorcycles, some lenders offer tailored vintage vehicle loans. Caravan financing follows similar trends, with better rates for newer models and specialised options for high-value caravans.

Marine finance
Looking for a Yacht, Dinghy, Motorcruiser, Powerboat, Keelboat or Jet Ski? These loans can cover both new and used vessels, with flexible terms that often depend on the boat’s age, value, and intended use. Marine financing options may also include the ability to finance additional expenses like insurance and maintenance.
Business Asset Finance

Equipment Loans Across Industries
We work with wide variety of lenders which provide equipment & machinery finance for: Medical, Fitness and Gym, Agriculture, Restaurant, Manufacturing, Construction, Offices

Truck/ Lorry finance
Older businesses with an ABN over two years often secure better truck financing deals, with lower rates and less paperwork. Startups face more challenges, but there are options available.
Types of business asset finance

Commercial Hire Purchase
With CHP, the financier own the equipment during the hire term, transferring ownership to the lessee after all payments, including the final installment, are made. This option suits businesses aiming to own their equipment, offering fixed repayments and cost savings with an upfront deposit or trade-in.

Chattel Mortgage
The business takes ownership of the asset upfront, while the lender secures the loan with the asset as collateral. Once the loan is fully repaid, the lender’s interest is removed. Chattel mortgages often feature fixed interest rates, and potential tax benefits (GST advantages).

Equipment Finance Lease
An Equipment Finance Lease allows businesses to lease equipment with flexible options at the end of the term: renew the lease, upgrade to newer technology, or exit the agreement. It’s ideal for companies wanting access to the latest equipment without the upfront cost of ownership.

Rent to Buy
A Rent-to-Buy or Lease-to-Own arrangement allows businesses to rent equipment with the option to purchase it at the end of the lease. This flexible option is ideal for testing equipment before committing or for businesses without the capital for an upfront purchase.

Need clarification?
What is the interest rate?
The interest rate is the cost of borrowing and can vary between lenders. At Release Mortgage, you can access a network of lenders to compare rates and find the one that best fits your budget.
What documentation is required?
Required documentation varies by lender but typically includes proof of income, identification, and vehicle/equipment information.
How long are vehicle/ equipment loans?
The loan terms typically range from one to five years, with some extending up to 10 years, depending on the vehicle/ equipment type and its expected lifespan.
Can I refinance my loan?
Yes, refinancing can be a great option if you can secure better terms or lower interest rates. Release Mortgage makes it easy to explore refinancing opportunities and potentially save on your loan.
What happens if I miss a payment?
Missing a loan payment can lead to late fees and hurt your credit score. It's important to reach out to your lender if you expect payment issues to explore possible solutions.
What if I want to sell the car before paying off the loan?
Selling a financed car before the loan is fully paid off is possible, but it usually requires coordination with your lender. The new owner will need to take over responsibility for the remaining loan balance.
