Low Doc Scissor Lift Finance — frequently asked questions
What are scissor lift finance rates in Australia?
Scissor lift finance rates typically start from around 6.55% and can range to 15%, depending on your credit profile, business history, financials, the age and value of the scissor lift, loan amount and preferred loan terms. Eligible applicants financing newer scissor lifts may qualify for rates at the lower end of this range. We compare options across 80+ lenders to find competitive rates and repayments suited to your circumstances, and negotiate directly with lenders for a better deal where possible. Rates are indicative only and subject to lender criteria, credit assessment, fees, terms and approval.
Can I get scissor lift finance with just an ABN?
Not with an ABN alone. If you’re a new business or don’t have full financials, there are lenders that may still consider your application, but they’ll generally want to see a registered business, a confirmed source of work with a reputable company, and usually a deposit. The work doesn’t necessarily need to be under a formal contract, but the lender will typically want to verify the work details verbally. The deposit required will vary depending on your overall credit profile, business experience and the scissor lift you’re purchasing. We can assess your situation and determine which lenders and finance options are available without putting you through unnecessary applications.
Can I finance a new or used scissor lift?
Yes. We arrange finance for new, used and older scissor lifts, whether you’re buying from a dealer, private seller or auction. The age, value and condition of a used scissor lift can influence which lenders and finance options are available. We can compare options from lenders that finance a wide range of used and older scissor lifts to find a suitable deal for your circumstances.
Can I get scissor lift finance with no deposit?
Yes. No deposit scissor lift finance may allow eligible ABN holders to finance up to 100% of the purchase price with no upfront deposit. Eligibility depends on your business history, credit profile, financial position and the scissor lift being purchased.
Can I get low doc scissor lift finance?
Yes. Low doc scissor lift finance up to $500,000 may be available to eligible ABN holders without providing a full set of financial statements and tax returns. Depending on the lender, BAS statements, business bank statements, an accountant declaration or other supporting documents may be accepted.
Can I get scissor lift finance without financials?
Yes. Eligible ABN holders may qualify for no financials scissor lift finance without providing full financial statements or tax returns. Lenders may instead consider your ABN and GST history, credit profile, business history and the scissor lift being financed.
How much can I borrow for a scissor lift?
Depending on your circumstances, low-doc scissor lift finance may be available up to $500,000, while full-doc finance can extend to $5–10 million+ for larger purchases or fleets. Your borrowing capacity will depend on your business financials, trading history, the scissor lift being financed and the lender’s criteria.
What loan terms are available for scissor lift finance?
Scissor lift finance terms are generally available from 1 to 7 years, depending on the lender, the age of the scissor lift and your circumstances. We can structure the term and repayments around your business cash flow and how long you plan to keep the scissor lift.
Can I get scissor lift finance with bad credit?
Yes. Having bad credit doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t get scissor lift finance. We work with a range of lenders and can explore options based on your individual circumstances, business history and the scissor lift you’re looking to finance. Every application is different, so approval isn’t guaranteed, but we’ll work to find the most suitable finance option available for your situation.
Can I finance a scissor lift from a private seller or auction?
Yes. Scissor lift finance can be arranged for dealer purchases, private sales and auction purchases. Private and auction purchases can have different lender, valuation and documentation requirements, so getting the finance organised before committing to the purchase can make the process easier.
What finance options are available for scissor lifts?
Scissor lifts can be financed using a chattel mortgage, commercial hire purchase, finance lease and other machinery finance structures. The right option depends on your business, cash flow, ownership requirements and tax position.
How does a balloon payment work on scissor lift finance?
A balloon is a lump sum left owing at the end of the finance term. Including a balloon can reduce your regular repayments, but it leaves a larger amount to pay or refinance at the end. The right balloon depends on your scissor lift, finance structure and business cash flow.
How quickly can scissor lift finance be approved?
Most of the time, we can get same-day approval. Some applications may take 24 to 48 hours, depending on the scissor lift you’re purchasing, your business background, the complexity of the application, and whether the lender requires any additional information or documentation. We work to match your application with the most suitable lender from the outset, helping keep the approval process as quick and straightforward as possible.
Does getting a scissor lift finance quote affect my credit score?
Getting a scissor lift finance quote with Overdrive has zero impact on your credit score. We don’t require any upfront credit checks to provide you with a quote. A formal credit enquiry is only made once you give us the go-ahead to proceed with your application and we submit it to the most suitable lender.
Can I finance multiple scissor lifts or an entire fleet?
Yes. Scissor lift fleet finance is available for businesses purchasing multiple scissor lifts or expanding an existing fleet. Eligible businesses may access low doc finance up to $500,000, or full doc finance from smaller purchases through to $10 million+ for larger fleet transactions. Finance can be structured around your business cash flow, existing commitments and fleet requirements, with lender pricing negotiated based on the strength and size of the transaction.
