We work with Prestons businesses across every sector. The question we hear most often is why finance took so long at the last place. Our answer is always the same: it shouldn't have.
Not tied to one location? Start with our national operating lease guide for rates, structures and lender requirements.
Logistics runs on precision timing. Finance that's slow or poorly structured costs you jobs. We move fast.
We deal directly with lenders, no aggregators, no extra margin. Every application goes to the lenders most likely to approve it at the best rate for your deal.
Under an operating lease you pay to use equipment for a term and hand it back at the end. You never own it, which is the point: it suits equipment you replace on a cycle rather than keep, and where the accounting treatment matters to the business.
The trade-off is straightforward. Lease payments are typically fully deductible as an operating expense, but you build no equity and the total paid over the term exceeds the asset's price. For most Australian businesses buying vehicles or equipment they intend to keep, a chattel mortgage is the better structure; the lease earns its place in fleet and technology refresh cycles.
Our chattel mortgage guide compares all three structures honestly, including where each one costs you.
