Finance question
Equipment finance for cleaners and cleaning businesses?
Yes. Commercial cleaning gear like ride-on scrubbers, floor polishers, carpet extractors, pressure washers, industrial vacuums and the fleet vans that carry them is standard asset finance. The equipment secures the loan, so deals often approve in 24 to 48 hours, low-doc, up to $500,000.

The short answer
Win the contract, fund the gear to service it
Cleaning businesses scale on equipment. Ride-on and walk-behind scrubbers, floor buffers and polishers, truck-mount and portable carpet extractors, high-pressure washers, industrial vacuums, steam machines and the sign-written vans that move the crew between sites are all financeable. Each machine or vehicle secures its own loan, so the lender leans on the asset rather than only your accounts.
That is why approvals move quickly. A typical cleaning fit-out clears in 24 to 48 hours on a low-doc basis, and deals under a lender's threshold often need no financials, just your ABN, ID and the supplier invoice. When you land a new commercial or strata contract, you can equip for it without stalling on cash.
Ventas is a broker. We take your deal across 40+ lenders and place it where a cleaning operator's profile fits best, with no upfront fee to you because the lender pays us on settlement. Sole operators and larger contract cleaners both qualify.

Why finance suits a cleaning business
Match gear to the contract
A new site's machines are paid off from the revenue that site brings in.
Grow the fleet with demand
Add a van or a scrubber each time you take on another building.
Protect working capital
Keep cash for wages, chemicals and insurance instead of buying outright.
A real example
A contract cleaner wins a nightly office tower and needs a ride-on scrubber and a second sign-written van, around $70,000 together. Financed on the machine and the vehicle, low-doc, approved in two days. Repayments line up with the monthly contract fee. Illustrative only.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I finance both machines and a van on one deal?
Yes. Cleaning equipment and the vehicle that carries it can be funded together or separately, up to $500,000.
Can I finance used commercial cleaning gear?
Yes. Reconditioned scrubbers and extractors are commonly financed, including private-sale purchases, subject to lender assessment.
Do I need financials as a sole operator?
Often no. Many cleaning deals settle low-doc or no-doc on the asset and your ABN.
How quickly can I have the gear?
Straightforward deals often approve in 24 to 48 hours, so you can service the new contract within days.
