We are the Civil Construction Equipment Finance Experts.

At Finlease, we understand the civil and construction game inside out, because we’ve been financing the gear that keeps it moving for over 35 years. From excavators and skid steers to tippers, trailers and utes, we know what works on-site and what makes sense on paper.

Our brokers don’t just talk finance, they speak your language, understand project timelines, and know how to structure loans that support your cash flow. Whether it’s a brand-new machine or a second-hand pickup from a private seller, we make the process fast, straightforward, and tailored to your business.

That’s why civil and construction clients across Australia trust Finlease to get them moving.

Backed by 1,500+ five-star reviews,
35 years in business, and brokers who have your back.

A builder had a new job starting in 4 weeks. Their old excavator wasn’t cutting it – and delivery on new gear was too long.

We quickly assessed their situation, matched them with a lender who understood the urgency, and secured finance within 48 hours – fast enough to lock in the machine they needed without holding up the project. By structuring the loan with manageable repayments and no balloon surprises, we kept their cash flow healthy while ensuring the equipment was ready to go not just for the immediate job, but for the two upcoming projects as well.

FAQ’s

Equipment & Vehicle Loans – Your Questions Answered

Securing the right finance for your civil or construction equipment is easier when you’ve got answers upfront. Whether you’re buying new or second-hand, from a dealer or private seller, or weighing up repayment options like balloons, our FAQs are here to guide you through the process.

Can I finance equipment bought via private sale (like on Carsales)?

Yes. We handle the legwork – PPSR checks, inspections, the lot.

How long does the process take?

As fast as 6 hours, typically 24–48. Need it done yesterday? Let us know.

What are the repayments?

We’ll tailor options to your cash flow and help you compare repayments with or without a balloon.

Am I likely to get approved?

If you’ve been in business for 2+ years and you’re borrowing under $500k, chances are high.

Do I need to be a property owner?

No – that’s a myth. We finance renters all the time.

Are there early payout fees?

It varies – give us a call and we’ll break it down case by case.

Advice from the Experts

  • Think about your future work. A cashflow forecast can show lenders that the repayments are covered.

  • Always get a comparative quote. The dealer might not be offering the best or most flexible solution.

  • Used equipment can be a smart buy. Second-hand vehicles from reliable sources can be a solid investment and are still financeable.

  • Talk to a broker early. It’s easier (and faster) to structure finance right from the start, rather than fix a poor deal later
