How do you finance a truck?

Financing a truck is often necessary for those who need access to a truck but may not have the available funds to purchase one outright. Fortunately, truck buyers are able to obtain truck finance from several different sources, including both online lenders and traditional financial institutions. These lenders usually provide truck loans over fixed terms, with the loan amounts, interest rates, and repayment schedules depending on factors such as the credit score of the buyer and the type of truck being purchased. It’s important to research financing options thoroughly and work with a reliable source before committing to truck finance; doing so can help ensure that you’re getting a fair deal on your truck loan.

You will be pleasantly surprised at how little information we can sometimes require and still have you approved with a major bank for your truck loan.
Do I need to have my Financials or Tax Returns completed to get a truck finance approval?

Absolutely not! Yakka Finance has access to a wide variety of low documentation finance offers that the major banks and other financiers offer us to secure your approval. Please don’t feel like you have to provide us with a lot of information in order to secure your truck finance approval. When we speak to you over the phone, we will know exactly what key items to obtain from you to secure your finance approval. It might surprise you on how little information we need.

Other key items we can utilise include a Good Finance Reference on one of your other Loans, recent BAS Statements or Bank Statements just to name a few examples instead of having to provide your financials.
What is Low Doc Truck Finance? Do you do it?

Yes we do! Low Doc Truck Finance means we only need a very small amount of documentation to secure your truck finance approval. Most of the time with absolutely no proof of earnings or profits. Our specialists can run you through how easy it is to secure a Low Doc Truck Finance approval over the phone in 5 minutes. Feel free to call us on 1300 842 911 to find out how little documentation we need for your truck loan approval.
How much can I be approved for?

You can borrow as much as you need for the full purchase of the truck of your choice. For Truck purchases this is normally from $20,000 up to $2,000,000 depending on your truck. Some banks and lenders will require deposits whilst others won’t. We will find out exactly what you’re purchasing and walk you through the strategy of what is required on your truck finance depending on your total loan amount.
What’s your interest rates?

This is a very common question that is always essential to ask. We love this question as we have managed to secure market leading interest rates that start from 2.69% for brand new truck purchases.

The key thing here is that every customer is different, and all are in a different stage of their business journey. Our biggest goal at Yakka Finance is we want to look after you and your business for the lifetime that you are trading. That means we want to finance every single truck your business ever purchases.

The only way we have so many loyal customers is our service is great and we can secure market leading interest rates. If our interest rates were high, we would never ever have the amount of loyal business owners that use our services every single day.

The big advantage for you and your business is because of the volumes of trucks we finance and the quality of our application submissions we are offered preferential interest rates from the banks that not all finance brokerages are able to secure. This is a big advantage to our business to keep our customers happy but also a huge advantage to your business.
What influences the interest rate?
There are many factors that can influence the interest rate on the truck you have decided to purchase.
Here are some key considerations that can influence the interest rate:

How long you have been in business for? (E.g. Brand New Business or an established business trading for over 2 years)

If you are purchasing your Truck from a Licensed dealership or a truck from a Private Seller

What the specific year build the truck is. For example, a brand new or near new truck would secure a much lower interest rate compared to a truck that is much older with a 2003 year build truck.

If you or your spouse is a Property Owner or if you are currently renting

Your total truck loan amount. The higher the truck loan amount the lower the interest rate can be.

If you have had truck or equipment finance before and if your repayment history has been good or bad

If you have a clean credit file or a credit file with a low score
Can you finance older trucks?
How long does it take for my truck finance to be approved?

We can usually obtain a truck finance approval within 24 – 48 hours of receiving all your details. Let us know your timeframe and we will work with you to get the truck approved and settled with the most appropriate lender due to the time you are needing your new truck by. The bigger the truck loan amount (Above $250,000) can sometimes slow the application process down by a day or two as more documentation needs to be assessed and put together for your approval.
How long can my loan term be for truck finance?

The average truck loan term is between 3-7 years (36 to 84 months). The choice of loan term is ultimately your choice. The shorter the term would result in a higher monthly repayment as you are paying the loan off on a shorter loan period. If you every want to play around with what Loan Term works for you on your truck. Have a play with our easy to use Truck Finance Calculator – https://yakkafinance.com.au/finance-calculator/
What is a balloon payment? Do I need one?

A balloon payment is a lump sum which is owed to the lender at the very end of your truck loan term, after all your regular monthly repayments have been made. It allows you to repay only part of the principal amount of your truck loan over the term you request. The reason for having a Balloon Payment is that it allows you to lower your monthly repayments for cashflow purposes.

When it comes to end of your loan contract, and you will still have your Balloon Payment to deal with. It is easy to refinance your balloon payment at the end of your loan. Alternatively, you can trade the truck in for a new one or sell your truck to another party which if structured correctly should be more than the balloon payment you owe.

It is completely your choice whether you want a balloon payment in your loan structure to reduce your monthly repayments or not. We can workshop this with you to make sure the repayments suits you and your transport business.
Why don’t I finance the truck through the truck dealership? Isn’t it cheaper?

Funnily enough we look after over 20 Truck Dealerships in Australia as their finance partner. The reason why Truck Dealerships use Yakka Finance is that we are experts on trucks and the transport industry. We are also very skilled at getting their customers truck finance approved and we secure them low rates, so they are happy to go ahead with the truck purchase.

Some other Truck Dealerships might offer their own Vendor Finance (e.g. Volvo Financial Services) and with only have a very limited amount of options in regards to a finance offering to their prospective buyers. This can result in very limited flexibility and not allow them to secure the best deal they could.

We are more than happy to offer our advice and let you know if your Truck Finance approval is competitive or not. Just call us on 1300 842 911.
Can I buy my truck from someone selling their truck privately?

Yes, financing a truck from a Private Seller is very common and we do these types of transactions all the time. Business owners love finding a great deal on a truck privately. We will handle the whole entire sale process with the private seller for you and arrange for them to get paid by the bank or financier correctly. This process is very streamlined for us, and we only require the agreed price you have negotiated with the private seller on your truck. We will handle the whole entire process from there.
Do I need to inspect the truck before I purchase it?

It’s generally recommended to make sure you are happy with the truck you are buying especially if you are purchasing through a private seller. When it comes to Private Sales, most finance companies will require a third-party finance inspection on the truck to make sure the truck’s asset identifiers (VIN Number & Engine Number) matches the Registration papers and the Tax Invoice before the bank will settle on it.

We simply will book a Truck Finance Inspection company in for you (or inspect the truck ourselves) to take photos of the Front, Back, Sides, Odometer and Compliance Plate of the truck to make sure it all matches your loan documents, registration papers and Tax Invoice so we can move through to settlement.

We also complete a PPSR search on the truck to make sure the truck is not a write off or has been stolen. You are welcome to also do a mechanical inspection on the truck (at additional costs) to make sure the truck is mechanically sound just to make sure you are completely comfortable on moving ahead with the truck purchase. We can also able to book in a truck mechanical inspection for you.
I’m looking at a used truck. Can you help me with truck finance?

Yes! Whether it is a new or used truck we offer a tailored finance solutions for all age trucks and have a wide variety of banks and lenders that will comfortably finance used trucks. You tell us what truck you would like to purchase. We will then match that truck with the most appropriate bank or lender for you.
I got a truck loan quote elsewhere it seems expensive – can you beat it?

This is one of our favourite things to do. Yakka Finance has access to the most cost-effective interest rates in the market. So given the opportunity to beat your current rate is something we take a lot of pride in doing.

If we can’t beat your interest rate that means you are getting a fantastic rate for your truck purchase. We will give you true and honest feedback once we have a look at what truck you are purchasing, your current repayment structure and what stage your transport business is currently in. Given the opportunity we won’t let you down on securing a low interest rate approval for you.
What do I need to get truck finance?

Every truck finance application is different. It will all be depending on your business, the truck you are purchasing & the amount you are looking to borrow. Once we have a five-minute phone call, we will get a good understanding, then run you through the strategy and the key items we need in order to secure your apporoval.

Please don’t feel you need to give us everything but the kitchen sink like a bank would as this is simply not the case. We strategically know exactly what key items we need to secure your finance approval.
I don’t have a deposit to put into my truck, can I still apply for finance?

Yes, we have a large variety of banks that will give you an approval without having to put your own businesses cash reserves into the truck purchase and it won’t affect your interest rate in most scenarios. Our most common truck loan is with no deposit required.
I have a Low Credit Score will I still be approved?

Yes, we secure truck loan approvals for Low Credit Score applicants. We are comfortable on getting your trucks loans approved with a low Credit Score or Credit Defaults. We fully understand that what happens in the past doesn’t dictate necessarily where you are now. With most of our clients if they get a Credit Default on their Credit file there is normally a good reason behind the credit default and why it’s there.

Some of our customers are just unlucky with missing the payment of Energy Bills when they change their residential address or have had a dispute over a phone bill where they were charged to much by their phone provider. These are all very common and banks have a good understanding of this.

We always get an understanding of why your Credit Score is below the average and then effectively communicate to the appropriate bank as to why it is lower. Please have comfort that we know how to communicate correctly to the right banks or lenders on the story on the Credit Score and/or Credit Default to get your truck loan approved.

In addition, we have a great external team we utilise to lift the Credit Default off your file and lift your credit score for you.
Can you finance a truck from a Private Seller?
Can I make additional repayments to reduce my truck loan?

Yes, you are more than welcome to make extra repayments off your truck loan. It’s a good overall strategy to reduce the amount of interest paid on your truck. However, with interest rates being quite low and cashflow being king in any transport business. It can sometimes be best hold on to your working capital and pay off the truck loan in the last 1-2 years of your loan contract.
Can you organise Truck Insurance?
Why don’t I just go direct to my bank for the truck finance?
Although you could go to your bank to obtain your Truck Finance, we know that it doesn’t deliver the same outcome to you or your business. Here are some key reasons as to why Yakka Finance are better than a bank for your truck loan approval:

You could end up going to the wrong bank who would charge you a higher interest rate and make you jump through a lot more administration hoops just to secure a simple Truck Finance approval.

It’s so important to spread your loans across multiple banks. Why? This keeps competition high and interest rates low for you.

We know exactly which specific banks to go to at certain times of the year on different types of trucks.

Don’t waste a credit enquiry on your credit file going to the wrong bank. When we submit your truck loan for an approval, we know it’s going to be approved. This keeps your Credit File Scores strong as every credit enquiry results in a finance approval when dealing with us.

You will spend a lot more of your own time and efforts putting an application together when dealing with the bank and have no idea if you will get an approval. When we go to a bank, we are already 99% sure they will approve your truck loan.

With Yakka you will always have one point of contact for every truck purchase you make for your business. At Yakka Finance we are not going anywhere, we get to know your business and are here to have a strong relationship with you and your business long-term.
