What is a chattel mortgage?

A chattel mortgage loan allows business owners to purchase vehicles and take full ownership of said vehicle. It’s a great option for businesses that require the use of cars or trucks in order to operate efficiently. It doesn’t matter the size of the business – all businesses are eligible to apply for any chattel mortgage Australia wide, whether they are a small business, large corporation, or a sole trader.

How does a chattel mortgage work?

Once the borrower has completely paid back the loan, the lender will pass on the title of the vehicle to the borrower.

This type of loan is for business owners who intend to use the vehicle for business purposes more than 50% of the time. The beauty of a chattel mortgage is that you can take ownership of the vehicle from the moment you purchase it, rather than having to lease the vehicle until the loan is paid off.

  • Discover flexible terms such as the length of the loan and balloon payment options
  • You have the option of applying for 100% finance, use a deposit as part payment, or trade-in your current vehicle – then use the chattel mortgage for the balance of the purchase price
