Getting Approved for Finance Pre-event
Attending an event like the Diesel Dirt and Turf Expo offers many opportunities, especially to order new machinery. These opportunities can be optimised when the finance for the machinery and equipment has been secured before arrival.
Often manufacturers will offer show specials and discounts which are only available for orders and sales made at the event. Without the equipment loan confirmed, operators may not have the confidence to place the order on the day and capture the discount on offer.
Even where discounts and specials are not on offer, there can be benefits to pre-approved finance. One being the recent delivery delays with machinery in many sectors. Being one of the first to order newly released models may mean being high in priority for delivery. The sooner the machinery is delivery and commissioned, the sooner operators can start realising the benefits of improved productivity, increased capacity and better outcomes for the operation.
There are many benefits, but two key reasons to consider getting approved for finance ahead of ordering are:-
- One is so you know how much in the total loan amount you would be approved for. Confirmation of the loan amount can be of particular importance to new operators and those requiring Low Doc and No Equipment Finance.
- The other is securing a confirmed offer, with confirmed repayments and interest rates on a certain amount to purchase a specific piece of equipment. Allowing fast ordering and ensuring that you have our cheaper finance offer if presented with a financing offer from the dealer. This also allows confident bidding at auction, knowing the amount your finance has been approved for.
When buy at auction with pre-approved finance, the settlement may be streamlined as our consultants will assist with that process. When the successful bidder, simply call your Jade consultant to advise them to finalise your finance, send through the invoice and we’ll handle the rest for you.
One tip when planning to buy at auction – you may like to include auction fees and any possible transport costs in the loan. Speak with us about these possibilities.
We provide pre-approved finance on all types of machinery and equipment and customers can select which is the most appropriate loan type to suit their operation – Chattel Mortgage, Leasing, Rent to Buy or Commercial Hire Purchase.
All the same features and benefits including tax deductions are relevant for finance secured pre-purchase and post-ordering.
One issue which does need to be considered is the timing. Pre-approved loans do have a set timeframe. A quick call to us and we will confirm how far out from the Diesel Dirt and Turf Expo in April you should apply for finance.
