How does a Sale / Buyback Work?
This type of finance is where a loan is raised (by way of Lease, Chattel Mortgage or Hire Purchase) against an item of heavy equipment that is owned outright and free from any encumbrance.

Benefits of a Sale / Buyback Facility
Example of a Sale / Buyback Facility used for Truck Finance
- Purchase Price of 5 year old Kenworth Tip Truck – $165,000 (gst inc)
- Finance Type – Chattel Mortgage
- Loan Amount – $165,000 (gst inc)
- Term – 60 months
- Balloon – 30% or $49,500
- Payments – monthly in arrears
Outcome
- Client found this tip truck on the internet one day before a Ritchie Bros Auction and had a feeling that it would go for a good price. Client therefore rang our office for some funding options regarding truck finance, to which we suggested a Sale / Buyback
- This option for client meant that they could secure the tip truck for a great price at short notice
- A regular Chattel Mortgage agreement was drawn up for the client which allowed them to claim depreciation and interest as a tax deduction and reduce tax paid to the ATO
- Client was able to maximise working capital position as the $165,000 was deposited back into their nominated bank account a few days after payment was made to Ritchie Bros
Who would use a Sale / Buyback Facility?
A Sale / Buyback facility would be used by businesses in the following situations;
- Need to purchase a truck or heavy equipment at very short notice in order to secure a good price for the equipment
- A transport business whereby major repairs need to be completed on a truck – ie gearbox or engine rebuild
- In the event that a business requires a cash flow injection for working capital purposes
Heavy Vehicle Finance advises that all clients discuss a particular funding scenario with their Accountant before making a decision on what product to use when considering truck finance or the finance of any type of heavy equipment.
