What Is A Business Car Loan?

Also known as a chattel mortgage, a business car loan allows you to purchase a vehicle for your business while spreading the cost over time. You own the vehicle from day one, but it's used as security for the loan—much like a mortgage.

Once the loan is paid off, the car is fully yours with no strings attached. It’s a smart way to manage cash flow while expanding your business and it may come with tax benefits, like the government's instant asset write-off.

Things To Consider Before Applying

Potential drawbacks to be aware of

  • Business car loans often come with stricter terms than unsecured alternatives.
  • Some lenders charge penalties if you pay off the loan ahead of schedule.
  • Some lenders may include extra fees and charges.
  • If the vehicle’s value drops, you might owe more than it’s worth.

Questions to ask yourself

  • Is my current vehicle getting unreliable, hard to use, or outdated?
  • Am I comfortable committing to a loan term of 3–7 years?
  • If I'm selling my current vehicle, do I want the cash to go to the loan or into my pocket?
  • Is a new vehicle part of business expansion?
