If there was one measure that was common across both state and federal government budgets and stimulus measures in 2020 it had to be infrastructure spending. As the coronavirus pandemic hit the economy, treasurer and treasurer fronted the media to announce another infrastructure spend to stimulate the economy. Over coming years, Australian governments collectively will spend billions on roads and other infrastructure. The investment in roads, including new and upgrading projects, is of particular interest to us at Jade Equipment Finance as many of our customers operate in the construction sector.
For those in the mining and quarrying business, this infrastructure spend may signal a big boost to operations and the need for new or upgraded equipment to cope with the increase. Jade Equipment Finance provides cost-effective and tailored finance solutions for the acquisition of the mining and quarrying equipment.

Jade Equipment Finance provides loans for both standard equipment from leading manufacturers and suppliers and custom-built machinery loans. To start planning your loan or compare different makes and models of specific machines, use our Equipment Loan Calculator. This calculator allows you to input as many different values of different machines and receive a rough repayment estimate so you can immediately see how the purchase price converts to the more important repayment amount. Don’t forget to note the results you calculate for comparison purposes as the calculator does not retain the results you’ve calculated.
