You may also be eager to expand your business or increase capacity, but simply not be able to take on more work without expanding your commercial vehicle fleet.

Universal Finance has put together a streamlined application process that ensures your loan is settled as quickly as possible, so the money is available for you to buy the vehicle of your choice. You get behind the wheel much quicker, safe in the knowledge that you have the best deal.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a commercial vehicle loan?

A commercial vehicle loan is a type of vehicle financing that’s specifically for a car that you’re going to use for your business. A commercial vehicle loan can’t be used for a car you’ll be driving for personal reasons, or one that you’ll be using just to commute. If you’re unsure whether the vehicle you’re buying would be classed as a commercial vehicle, simply give us a call and we can clarify whether you can get this kind of loan.

What type of vehicles are considered a commercial vehicle?

Commercial vehicles don't have to come under a certain category, although they are often utes, trucks, or vans. But their purpose needs to be commercial. For example, they need to be used to transport goods or wares for your business or make deliveries. If they move passengers around, this needs to be for business purposes or to turn a profit – i.e. if you're running a taxi service. If you’re using the car to get to and from work, and for personal use, this is unlikely to count as a commercial vehicle.

What are the documents required for commercial vehicle loan?

Many commercial vehicle loan providers will ask for large amounts of paperwork, but Universal Finance has streamlined the process to make it as easy as possible. We will ask you to fill in a few simple forms, and you may need to send some ID documents, but rest assured, we’ll try to make this as easy as possible for you. We know there’s nothing worse than having to dig up old paperwork to get your loan, so we keep things to a minimum.

Is a car loan considered a commercial loan?

A car loan is considered a commercial loan if you’re using the car for business purposes only. For example, you’re taking out the loan to add some extra vans to your fleet or replacing a heavy goods vehicle. If you’re taking out a loan for a car that you’ll use mostly in your spare time, then you’ll need a standard car loan.
