Equipment Finance Solutions | CBV Capital

Fund the Equipment Your Business Needs to Grow

What Is Equipment Finance?

Equipment finance is a funding solution that allows businesses to buy equipment without cash upfront. Instead of draining your working capital, you spread the cost over time with fixed monthly repayments that are easier to plan around. At CBV Capital, we have been helping self-employed business owners and companies access commercial equipment finance for over 16 years. We work with banks and lenders across Australia to find finance options that suit your business needs.

Whether you are buying new equipment or upgrading existing equipment, the right finance structure can make a real difference to your cashflow and your ability to grow. Equipment finance is not just for large corporations. It is used by sole traders, small businesses, and large enterprises alike to keep operations running and stay competitive.

What Equipment Can Be Financed?

At CBV Capital, we can help you explore finance options for a wide range of assets. This includes plant and equipment finance for manufacturing and production businesses, as well as machinery finance for industries that rely on heavy assets. Common equipment types we assist with include:

Trucks, trailers, excavators, tractors, graders, cranes, dozers, and forklifts
Agricultural equipment and farming equipment
Manufacturing equipment and factory machinery
IT equipment finance and computer equipment
Office equipment and printing equipment finance
Solar equipment finance for businesses investing in renewable energy
Food processing equipment
Automation equipment and robotics financing
Material handling equipment
Work vehicles and specialised machinery

If your business relies on physical assets to operate, there is likely an equipment finance option available to you. Our team works across a broad range of industries and understands the specific demands that come with financing specialised or high-value equipment.

Finance Structures Available

CBV Capital can help you access Equipment Finance options from banks and lenders across Australia, and we work to match the right structure to your situation. Common structures include chattel mortgage, equipment leasing, industrial equipment leasing, and Hire Purchase arrangements. Each has different implications for ownership, tax, and cashflow.

A chattel mortgage, for example, allows you to take ownership of the asset from day one while using the equipment as collateral for the loan. With equipment leasing, you use the equipment for the life of the lease and may have the option to purchase at the end. A Hire Purchase arrangement sits somewhere in between, with ownership transferring once all repayments are made. Your accountant can advise on which structure is most tax effective for your circumstances, as some options may allow deductions that make the finance more tax deductible over time.

Why Equipment Finance Matters for Self-Employed Businesses

For self-employed business owners, managing cashflow is one of the most important parts of running a sustainable operation. Equipment finance is a cashflow friendly way to access the latest technology, upgrade equipment, or upgrade technology without a large upfront outlay. Rather than waiting until you have saved enough cash, you can put the right tools in place now and generate revenue while you repay the loan amount over time.

This is particularly valuable when you need to scale quickly, respond to a new contract, or replace equipment that has broken down. Industrial equipment leasing and other finance structures also mean you are not stuck with outdated assets. You can upgrade technology at the end of a term and keep your business running at full efficiency.

CBV Capital works closely with self-employed clients who may not fit the standard lending criteria of a major bank. With access to a broad panel of lenders, we can often find solutions where others cannot. Whether you need asset finance for a single vehicle or a larger facility to cover multiple assets, our team takes the time to understand your situation before presenting options.

The Benefits of Working with CBV Capital

With 16 years of broking experience and a focus on self-employed borrowers, CBV Capital understands that every business is different. We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we look at your income structure, your industry, and your goals before recommending a finance path.

We work with businesses across Australia from our Adelaide base, and we have built strong relationships with a wide range of banks and non-bank lenders. This means we can access commercial equipment finance options that may not be available directly through a single lender. If you are looking at business loans alongside your equipment needs, or exploring working capital solutions to support your operations, our team can look at the full picture and help you structure your borrowing in a way that supports long-term business efficiency.

Equipment finance done well can help you preserve cash, manage cashflow, improve productivity, and invest in the tools that drive your business forward. CBV Capital is here to help you work through your options and find a structure that fits.

Jasper was an outstanding mortgage broker and I highly recommend him. As a first home buyer, I had no idea where to start, but Jasper guided me through the entire process from beginning to end. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small or silly they seemed, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The property process moved very quickly at times, and Jasper was always proactive, responsive, and on top of everything. Buying my first home felt much less stressful thanks to his support, knowledge, and professionalism. If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond, it’s Jasper

Your Questions Answered

Why should I use a finance broker instead of going directly to my bank?

When you go directly to a bank, you only see what that one lender has to offer. A finance broker like CBV Capital has access to a panel of lenders, which means we can look at a wider range of options on your behalf. We understand how different lenders assess applications, what they look for, and which ones may be more suited to your particular circumstances. This can save you a significant amount of time and effort. Beyond that, we are here to support you through the entire process, answer your questions, and make sure you understand what you are signing up for. It is about having someone in your corner.

What types of finance can CBV Capital help me with?

CBV Capital works across a broad range of finance types. This includes home loans for owner-occupiers and investors, commercial property finance, business loans, equipment and asset finance, vehicle finance, and more. We work with both individuals and businesses, so whether you are buying your first home, expanding your business, or purchasing new equipment, we can look at your options. Each situation is different, and we take the time to understand yours before recommending a path forward. If you are unsure whether your finance need falls within our scope, just give us a call and we will let you know how we can help.

Is CBV Capital a licensed finance broker?

Yes. CBV Capital operates under an Australian Credit Licence, which means we are authorised to provide credit assistance in accordance with the requirements set out under Australian law. We are committed to acting in your interests and meeting our obligations under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act. This includes being transparent about how we are paid, ensuring any loan we recommend is not unsuitable for your situation, and providing you with the documentation you are entitled to throughout the process. You can have confidence that when you work with CBV Capital, you are dealing with a professional and compliant finance business.

What does a finance broker actually do?

A finance broker acts as the link between you and a range of lenders. Rather than you spending hours researching loan products and dealing with banks directly, a broker does that work on your behalf. At CBV Capital, we assess your situation, understand what you are trying to achieve, and then approach lenders who may be suited to your needs. We handle the paperwork, manage the communication, and guide you through each step of the process. Whether you are looking at a home loan, a business loan, or asset finance, having a broker in your corner means you have someone working for you, not for the bank.

How do I get started with CBV Capital?

Getting started is straightforward. You can reach out to us by phone, email, or through our website to book an initial conversation. There is no obligation involved in that first chat. We will take the time to listen to what you are looking to achieve, ask a few questions about your situation, and give you an honest overview of how we may be able to help. From there, if you are happy to proceed, we will outline the next steps and get the process underway. Whether you are ready to move now or just starting to think about your options, we are happy to have a conversation at whatever stage you are at.

What information will I need to provide when applying for finance?

The information required will depend on the type of finance you are applying for, but generally speaking, lenders want to understand your income, your expenses, your assets, and your liabilities. For individuals, this might include recent payslips, tax returns, bank statements, and identification documents. For businesses, lenders may also ask for financial statements, business activity statements, and details about the business itself. At CBV Capital, we will walk you through exactly what is needed for your specific situation. We want to make sure your application is as complete and well-prepared as possible before it goes to a lender, which helps avoid back-and-forth delays.

How long does the finance application process take?

The timeframe can vary depending on the type of finance you are applying for, the lender involved, and how quickly we can gather the required information from you. Some applications move through relatively quickly, while others, particularly for complex commercial or business lending, may take longer. At CBV Capital, we work to keep things moving as efficiently as possible and will keep you informed throughout the process. We will let you know upfront what documents and information we need from you so we can avoid unnecessary delays. Our goal is to make the process as smooth as possible from start to finish.

Is CBV Capital able to help clients outside of Adelaide?

Absolutely. While CBV Capital is based in Adelaide, we work with clients right across Australia. Thanks to phone, email, and video calls, geography is no barrier to getting quality finance support. We have helped clients in major cities, regional towns, and rural areas secure the finance they need. Whether you are in Sydney, Perth, Darwin, or a small town in Queensland, our team is ready to work with you. We make the process as straightforward as possible regardless of where you are located, so do not hesitate to get in touch no matter where you call home.

How does CBV Capital get paid?

In most cases, CBV Capital is paid a commission by the lender when a loan is settled. This means that in many situations, you do not pay us directly for our broking services. We are required by law to be transparent about how we are paid, and we will always disclose our remuneration to you clearly before you proceed. It is important to us that you understand exactly how the process works and feel confident in the advice and support you receive. If there are any situations where a fee may apply, we will discuss that with you upfront so there are no surprises along the way.

Can CBV Capital help if I have had credit issues in the past?

Having a less-than-perfect credit history does not automatically mean you cannot access finance. There are lenders who specialise in working with people who have had credit challenges in the past, and CBV Capital has experience working across a range of credit situations. We will take the time to understand your history and your current circumstances before exploring what options may be available to you. We will always be honest with you about what we find and what is realistic. It is important to us that you have a clear picture of where you stand so you can make informed decisions about your next steps.
