A chattel mortgage is a common form of business finance used to purchase assets such as cars, trucks, trailers, or machinery. Under this arrangement, your business takes ownership of the asset immediately — the vehicle or equipment is registered in your name — but the lender uses the asset as security for the loan. Once the loan is fully repaid, the mortgage is released, and you have clear ownership.
This structure offers several advantages for businesses. Because the loan is secured by the asset itself, interest rates are often lower than unsecured business loans. You may also be eligible for tax benefits, such as claiming depreciation, interest, and GST (if registered for GST) on the asset.
Chattel mortgages are particularly popular with ABN holders and businesses using vehicles or equipment primarily for work purposes, as they offer flexibility in terms, repayment schedules, and options like balloon payments to help manage cash flow.
