Finance question
Equipment finance for manufacturers?
Yes. CNC machines, lathes, press brakes, injection moulders, conveyor and packaging lines, forklifts and factory fit-outs are core asset finance. Because each machine secures its own loan, deals often approve in 24 to 48 hours, low-doc, up to $500,000, with larger plant able to step up from there.

The short answer
Add capacity to the factory floor
Manufacturing plant is exactly what asset finance is designed for. CNC routers and mills, metal lathes, press brakes and guillotines, injection moulding machines, laser and plasma cutters, conveyor and packaging lines, compressors, dust extraction and the forklifts that move stock all qualify. Each machine secures its own loan, so the lender's risk sits in the plant rather than only in your accounts.
That security keeps approvals fast. A straightforward machine purchase often clears in 24 to 48 hours on a low-doc basis, and deals under a lender's threshold can settle with no financials, just your ABN, ID and the supplier invoice. It lets you take on a new production run without tying up the cash the factory needs to operate.
Ventas is a broker, not a lender. We run your deal across 40+ lenders and place it with one that understands manufacturing plant and can price a specific machine well, with no upfront fee to you because the lender pays us on settlement.
Do you qualify?
What a manufacturing deal usually needs.
The plant to fund
CNC, lathes, press brakes, moulders, conveyors or forklifts.
An active ABN
Small workshops and larger plants both qualify.
New or used machines
New units or quality second-hand plant, dealer or private.
A supplier invoice
The machine quote is often the only paperwork required.
Why finance suits a manufacturer
Pay from what it produces
Repayments spread the machine over the output it earns from.
Keep capital in the business
Funding plant leaves cash for materials, wages and stock.
Scale a production line
Add machines to a line as orders and capacity demand grow.
A real example
A sheet-metal fabricator wins a recurring order and needs a CNC press brake to keep up, about $180,000. Financed on the machine, low-doc, approved in a couple of days. Repayments are set against the output the press brake produces. Illustrative only.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I finance used manufacturing plant?
Yes. Quality second-hand CNC, lathes and moulders are commonly financed, including private sales, subject to lender assessment.
What if the machine costs more than $500,000?
Larger plant can often be structured above the standard threshold. We match higher-value deals to lenders with the appetite for them.
Do I need up-to-date financials?
Not always. Many deals settle low-doc or no-doc on the strength of the asset and your ABN, subject to lender assessment.
How fast can I have the machine running?
Straightforward deals often approve in 24 to 48 hours, so installation can follow within days.
