A handshake closing a business agreement
How It Works

Four steps from enquiry
to keys in hand

Simple. Fast. Flexible. We handle the lender legwork so you can keep running your business.

The Difference

Going direct, or
going through a broker

The same application can land very differently depending on how many lenders ever see it.

Straight to one lender

  • One credit policy, and one view of your application
  • A decline usually arrives without a reason you can act on
  • Each separate application leaves its own credit enquiry
  • You chase the paperwork and the follow-ups yourself
  • The structure on offer is the product that lender sells

Through AssetChain

  • A panel of banks and non-bank funders, compared side by side
  • We work out which lenders fit before anything is submitted
  • One shortlisted application rather than a scattered trail
  • We handle the lender back-and-forth and keep you updated
  • Terms, deposit and balloon shaped around how the asset earns

Your Asset. Your Business. Our Finance Solution.

How It Works

What happens at each step

Simple. Fast. Flexible. We handle the lender legwork so you can keep running your business.

  • 01

    Apply

    Tell us about the asset and your business. A short enquiry is enough to get started — no lengthy forms.

  • 02

    Assess

    We review your position and match it against our lender panel to find the structures that genuinely fit.

  • 03

    Finance Approved

    We present your options clearly — rate, term, deposit and repayments — and arrange approval with the lender.

  • 04

    Asset Purchased

    Settlement is coordinated with the seller so you can collect your asset and get back to work.

Questions

Common questions,
answered plainly

If yours is not here, call us — it is usually a two-minute conversation.

What can I finance through AssetChain?
Commercial and passenger vehicles, trucks and trailers, construction and earthmoving equipment, plant and machinery, and business assets more broadly. If an asset helps your business earn, there is usually a way to fund it — ask us if yours is not listed.
Do I need an ABN to apply?
Not always. Many asset finance products are designed for ABN holders, and some lenders have minimum trading periods. We also work with lenders who fund consumer purchases. Tell us your situation and we will tell you which path applies.
Can I finance a private sale or an auction purchase?
Yes. Several lenders on our panel fund private and auction purchases as well as dealership stock. The inspection and settlement process differs slightly, and we will walk you through it before you bid or commit.
Will enquiring affect my credit score?
No. Submitting an enquiry does not involve a credit check. We only submit a formal application — which does involve a credit assessment — once you have seen your options and asked us to proceed.
How long does approval take?
It depends on the lender, the asset and how complete your documentation is. Straightforward applications can be approved quickly; more complex structures take longer. We will give you a realistic timeframe up front rather than an optimistic one.
Can I refinance equipment I already own?
Often, yes. If you own an asset outright or have equity in it, refinancing can release capital for your next purchase. The amount available depends on the asset's age, type and current value.
What does it cost to use AssetChain?
We will set out any fees that apply to your specific application in writing before you proceed, along with the rate, term and repayments. You will not encounter a charge you have not already seen.
