Use this to self-qualify before you apply from Perth. These are the things lenders commonly weigh up — each lender sets its own rules and we're not privy to their internal scorecards, so treat it as a preparation guide rather than a promise.
| What they look at | Typical expectation | What that actually means | What helps |
|---|---|---|---|
| ABN age | Any age considered; 12+ months opens more options | How long your ABN has been registered. A brand-new ABN doesn't rule you out, it just narrows the list of lenders willing to look. | Register the ABN before you shop for machines, even if you start small. |
| GST registration | Often expected once turnover approaches $75,000 | Whether you're registered for GST. Some lenders treat GST registration as a sign the business is trading properly rather than a hobby. | Make sure what you tell the lender matches your ATO record. |
| Credit history | Clear file preferred; defaults assessed case by case | Your personal and business credit file. Paid or small defaults are often explainable — unexplained recent arrears are the hard part. | Pull your own credit file first so nothing surprises you mid-application. |
| Deposit or trade-in | $0 to 20% depending on the equipment and your profile | Money you contribute up front. A deposit reduces the amount financed and can offset a thin trading history. | Even a small deposit gives a lender a reason to say yes. |
| Equipment type and age | New and used both financed; older used units scrutinised | Lenders lend against the machine. Newer, saleable, cashless-ready equipment is easier to fund than a 15-year-old mechanical unit. | Get the make, model, year and serial numbers before you apply. |
| Site or placement plan | Named site preferred, especially for new operators | Where the machine will actually go and who has agreed to host it. A machine in a shed earns nothing, and lenders know it. | Have at least one site confirmed, in writing if possible. |
| Property ownership | Not required, but improves options | Whether you or a director own property. It isn't a requirement for equipment finance, but it widens the field. | Mention it up front if you do — it can change the structures offered. |
| Documents (low doc vs full doc) | ID + ABN for low doc; statements or financials for larger amounts | Smaller amounts are often assessed on identity and equipment alone. Bigger facilities usually mean bank statements or financials. | Have 3–6 months of business bank statements ready either way. |
| Serviceability | Repayment should be comfortably covered by expected takings | Whether the machine's expected sales cover the repayment plus stock and running costs. This is where your numbers matter most. | Run our profit calculator and bring the figures with you. |

Four pages of A4: how to self-qualify, what to pin down about the machine and the cashless reader, the site numbers lenders ask about, and the contract terms worth reading twice. Print it, or email it to your accountant.
Usually yes, though lenders will want to understand the site agreement — remote placements are assessed on the strength of the contract behind them as much as the equipment.
