Finance question
Equipment finance for printers and signage businesses?
Yes. Wide-format and digital printers, flatbed and UV printers, vinyl cutters, laminators, CNC routers, heat presses and the fit-out around them are all financeable. Because the machine secures the loan, deals often approve in 24 to 48 hours, low-doc, up to $500,000.

The short answer
Upgrade the press without stalling the jobs
Print and signage gear is a natural fit for asset finance. Wide-format roll and flatbed printers, UV and eco-solvent machines, digital production presses, vinyl cutters and plotters, laminators, CNC routers, laser engravers and heat presses all qualify, along with the RIP software bundle and workshop fit-out on many deals. Each machine secures its own loan, so the lender's risk sits in the press rather than only in your books.
That is why approvals are quick. A straightforward printer or signage purchase often clears in 24 to 48 hours on a low-doc basis, and many under a lender's threshold need no financials, just your ABN, ID and the supplier invoice. It lets you take on bigger print runs and signage contracts without draining working capital.
Ventas is a broker. We run your deal across 40+ lenders and place it with one that understands print production equipment, with no upfront fee to you because the lender pays us on settlement. Sole operators and established print shops both qualify.

What a print or signage deal usually needs.
The machine to fund
Wide-format printer, cutter, laminator or CNC router.
An active ABN
Sole operators and established print shops both qualify.
New or used gear
New presses or quality second-hand machines, dealer or private.
A supplier invoice

Why finance suits a print business
Pay from the print runs
The press earns from the jobs it produces and is paid from that income.
Keep cash for stock and ink
Financing the machine leaves capital for media, ink and wages.
Add capacity as work grows
Bring on a cutter or a second printer as contracts scale up.
A real example
A signage shop lands a national rollout and needs a wide-format UV printer and a CNC router to keep up, around $140,000 together. Financed across both machines, low-doc, approved in a couple of days. Repayments are set against the contract the gear services. Illustrative only.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I finance a used wide-format printer?
Yes. Quality second-hand presses and cutters are commonly financed, including private sales, subject to lender assessment.
Can the software or install be included?
Often yes. RIP software bundles and installation can sometimes be included with the machine, subject to lender assessment.
Do I need financials as a small print shop?
Often no. Many deals settle low-doc or no-doc on the strength of the asset and your ABN.
How fast can I have the press running?
Straightforward deals often approve in 24 to 48 hours, so installation can follow within days.
