Can you buy a car with a business loan?

Yes you can! As long as you have an Australian business number (ABN), you can afford the loan repayments, and you will be using the vehicle in your business at least 51% of the time. The rest of the time you can drive the car for your personal private use if you want.

Vehicle finance for business use is very common in Australia, just like it is for cars that are solely for personal use. It enables you to get the car you need for your business now, rather than waiting.

What is a business car loan?

A business car loan gives you the finance you need to buy a vehicle to use in your business. It could be any type of car — like a ute, sedan, SUV, hatchback, station wagon, people mover or light commercial vehicle — whatever best suits your business needs

Different types of businesses have different car needs. Buying a vehicle for business purposes makes practical as well as financial sense.

What are the benefits of a business car loan?

There are two main benefits of this loan. Besides the obvious one of helping you to get a vehicle to use now in your day-to-day business travel and tasks, a business car loan can also reduce the amount of tax you pay. Business car loan interest and lender fees are tax deductible.

You can claim up to 100% of your business car loan interest and fees, depending on how much you use the vehicle for business purposes. If you use it exclusively for your business, you can claim all of the loan interest and fees as a tax deduction.

If you drive your business vehicle for private use as well, you can claim the proportion of business use (a minimum of 51%). The government is basically subsidising the purchase of your business vehicle, so you may as well take advantage of any tax breaks you can get by getting your car on finance.

And if you’re quick, you may be able to write off the purchase price of your new business car as a tax deduction as well under the federal government’s temporary full expensing scheme. This scheme is available until 30 June 2023. You will need to structure your loan the right way to do this, so it’s best to contact one of our experts.

What is a business car loan term?

Business car loan terms range from 1 to 7 years to suit different business cash flow needs. If you want to lower your repayments or buy a more expensive business vehicle, it makes sense to take out a business car loan with a longer term.

On the flip side, if you can afford higher repayments or want to buy a less expensive vehicle, you can take out a shorter business car loan term to pay it off faster. You’ll own the car sooner and also save on interest.

Some lenders will only approve business loans for new vehicles, while others will approve finance for both new and used cars. However, used cars usually have shorter finance terms available.

Our business car loan experts know which ones approve business loans for used cars and which ones don’t, so once again it’s best to get in touch for advice. It will save you time and the hassle of researching the market yourself. We do it for our car buying clients for a living.

What are business car loan rates?

There’s no simple answer to this question because there’s a huge range of lenders in the market. There are also different types of business car loans available with different interest rates, features and benefits.

For example, secured loans and unsecured loans. Secured loans have lower interest rates, but your vehicle can be repossessed by the lender if you don’t make your repayments. It can’t be repossessed if you take out an unsecured loan. There’s also fixed and variable interest rates. Fixed rates stay the same even when market rates move, so they give you repayment certainty.

Even when you are comparing the same type of loan from different lenders, you should always compare the comparison interest rate. This is the interest rate plus the cost of lender fees. The comparison rate shows you the real cost of any loan. Lenders must advertise it on their products to comply with Australia’s credit legislation.

It’s best to contact one of our experts for advice on the right business car loan for your specific situation. They know all the latest lender offers and they can help you to do a business car loan comparison. This can help you to decide the best business car loan for your needs.

Business car loan calculator

You can use our business car loan calculator to work out your repayments for different loan terms, amount, interest rates and repayment schedules (weekly or monthly). You should choose a repayment schedule that suits your business cash flow. Dividing a monthly repayment amount into weekly payments can help you to pay off your loan faster and save interest.

The more you borrow, the higher your repayments will be for the same loan term at the same interest rate. Besides increasing your loan term or buying a cheaper vehicle, the other way you can reduce your business car loan repayments is by including a balloon payment. This is a larger final payment at the end of your loan term that reduces your regular repayments.
