Whether you are buying new equipment, upgrading existing equipment, or adding to your fleet, having the right finance structure in place makes a real difference to your business. At Elite Home Loans, we help businesses across Australia access asset finance options from banks and lenders across Australia, so you can preserve working capital and keep your operations moving forward.
Asset finance is a broad category of lending that allows businesses to fund the purchase of physical assets without tying up large amounts of capital. Instead of paying for equipment outright, you spread the cost over time through fixed monthly repayments, which makes it far easier to manage cashflow and plan ahead. This approach is used by businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to large commercial operations.
Elite Home Loans works with a wide panel of lenders to find asset finance options that suit your business needs. Whether you need commercial equipment finance for a growing operation, commercial vehicle finance for a new fleet, or specialised machinery for a construction or agricultural project, we can help you identify the right structure and connect you with lenders who understand your industry.
Asset based lending is not a one-size-fits-all product. The right solution depends on your business structure, the type of asset, the loan amount, and how you want to manage your tax position. That is why it pays to work with a broker who takes the time to understand your situation before recommending a finance option.

Step 1: Initial Consultation
Get in touch via the Elite Home Loans website to kick things off. Daniel will take the time to understand your goals, financial situation and borrowing needs, whether you are buying your first home, refinancing an existing loan or looking to build.
Step 2: Soft Credit Assessment
To understand what rates and loan terms you may qualify for, Daniel conducts a soft credit inquiry. This does not affect your credit score and gives both you and Daniel a clear picture of where you stand before progressing further.
Step 3: Lender Research and Comparison
Daniel accesses a wide panel of certified lenders and compares their products against your specific circumstances. His experience across RAMS, Noble Financial Services and Rate Money means he knows how lenders think and which ones are the right fit for your situation.
Step 4: Personalised Recommendation
Once Daniel has reviewed the market, he presents you with a clear recommendation tailored to your needs. Your personal information is kept private and is not shared with any lender until you choose to proceed.
Step 5: Loan Application Preparation
Daniel handles the preparation and lodgement of your application. He anticipates potential issues early and works through them on your behalf, so you do not have to manage the back-and-forth with lenders yourself.
Step 6: Approval and Settlement
Daniel stays with you through to approval and settlement, keeping you informed at every stage and ensuring the experience is as smooth as possible. Your loan could be approved in less than a week.
Step 7: Ongoing Support
The relationship does not end at settlement. Daniel continues to be available after your loan settles, ready to help with refinancing, loan reviews or any new property goals that come up down the track.
No fees, ever. Daniel is paid an upfront commission by your chosen lender, plus a small trail commission while your loan remains active. This means you receive professional mortgage advice without charge.
How we can help
One of the most important decisions when funding an asset is choosing the right finance structure. Elite Home Loans helps businesses across Australia understand the options available and select the one that aligns with their cash flow, tax position, and operational goals.
A chattel mortgage is one of the most common structures for business asset purchases. The business takes ownership of the asset immediately while the lender holds a mortgage over it as collateral. This structure often allows businesses to claim depreciation and GST benefits, making it a popular choice for those purchasing vehicles, factory machinery, or office equipment.
A finance lease and an operating lease work differently. With a finance lease, the lender owns the asset for the life of the lease and the business makes regular payments to use it. An operating lease is typically used when a business wants access to the latest equipment without committing to ownership, and it can suit businesses with a defined upgrade cycle. Both options can help preserve capital and keep balance sheets cleaner.
Hire Purchase is another structure worth considering. The business uses the asset while making repayments, and ownership transfers at the end of the term. A balloon payment can be included to reduce the size of regular repayments, with a lump sum due at the end.
For businesses that need commercial vehicle finance or fleet finance, there are also novated lease and vendor finance options available through dealerships and specialist lenders. Elite Home Loans can help you compare dealer finance against other market options so you are not limited to a single source.
The GST treatment of each structure varies, as does the way depreciation is handled for tax purposes. These are important considerations that can affect the true cost of the finance over time. Elite Home Loans works alongside your accountant or financial adviser to make sure the structure you choose fits within your broader business strategy.
For businesses in construction, we can assist with construction equipment finance for assets like excavators, graders, cranes, dozers, and other heavy plant. For primary producers, tractor and agricultural machinery finance is available through our lender panel. We also assist with medical equipment finance, hospitality equipment finance, and technology equipment finance for businesses in those sectors.
What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
A mortgage broker acts as the link between you and a wide range of lenders, including banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. Rather than you having to approach each lender individually, a mortgage broker does that legwork on your behalf. At Elite Home Loans, we take the time to understand your personal situation, your goals, and what you are looking for in a home loan. We then research the options available across our panel of lenders and present you with choices that suit your circumstances. We handle the paperwork, communicate with lenders, and support you through the entire process from your initial enquiry right through to settlement.
When you go directly to a bank, you only see what that one lender has to offer. At Elite Home Loans, we work with a broad panel of lenders, which means we can present you with a range of options rather than just one. We work for you, not for the bank. Our role is to understand your needs and match you with a loan structure that fits your situation. We also save you a significant amount of time by managing the research, application, and follow-up process on your behalf. Having someone in your corner who understands the lending process can make a real difference, especially if your situation is not straightforward.
The timeline for a home loan can vary depending on a number of factors, including the lender, the complexity of your application, and how quickly documents can be gathered and verified. In general terms, once we have all the information we need from you, we can prepare and submit your application. From there, lenders typically take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to assess and respond. At Elite Home Loans, we work hard to keep things moving and keep you informed at every stage. We will always give you a realistic expectation of timeframes upfront and stay in regular contact so you are never left wondering what is happening with your application.
Absolutely. Buying your first home is one of the most significant financial decisions you will ever make, and having the right support can make a real difference. At Elite Home Loans, we love working with first home buyers. We take the time to explain the process in plain language, answer all your questions, and make sure you feel confident at every step. We can also help you understand what government grants and schemes may be available to first home buyers in your state, such as the First Home Owner Grant or stamp duty concessions, and help you factor these into your planning. You do not need to have all the answers before you contact us. That is what we are here for.
Refinancing means replacing your existing home loan with a new one, either with your current lender or a different one. People refinance for many different reasons. Some want to change their loan structure, others want to consolidate debt, and some simply want to review whether their current loan is still working for them after their circumstances have changed. At Elite Home Loans, we can review your current loan and help you understand what options are available. We do not push you toward any particular outcome. Our role is to give you the information you need to make a decision that is right for you. We recommend speaking with us before making any changes to your existing loan.
While every application is a little different, there are some common documents that most lenders will require. These typically include proof of identity such as a passport or driver's licence, recent payslips or tax returns if you are self-employed, bank statements, details of any existing debts or liabilities, and information about the property you are purchasing or refinancing. At Elite Home Loans, we will give you a clear checklist tailored to your specific situation so you know exactly what to gather. We are also happy to answer any questions you have along the way. Being well-prepared with your documents can help avoid unnecessary delays in the assessment process.
In most cases, mortgage brokers in Australia are paid a commission by the lender once your home loan settles. This means that in the majority of situations, there is no direct cost to you for using our services. We are required by law to disclose any commissions or fees upfront, so you will always know exactly how we are compensated before you proceed. At Elite Home Loans, we believe in full transparency. We will always be upfront about how we are paid and make sure you feel comfortable and informed before moving forward. Our goal is to build long-term relationships based on trust, not just process a transaction.
Elite Home Loans can assist with a wide variety of lending needs. Whether you are purchasing your first home, upgrading to a larger property, investing in real estate, refinancing an existing loan, or looking to access equity in your current home, we are here to help. We also work with clients who have more complex situations, such as self-employed borrowers, those with variable income, or people who have had credit issues in the past. Every situation is different, and we take the time to understand yours before exploring what options may be available to you. No question is too small, and no situation is too complicated for us to look into.
