How does St.George vehicle and equipment finance work?
Getting a vehicle or equipment loan from St.George works in four different ways. You can either apply for a "goods loan", "hire purchase", "finance lease" or "novated lease". The difference between the four is explained below:
| Goods loan | Hire purchase | Finance lease | Novated lease |
|---|---|---|---|
| You source the asset and St.George lends you the money to purchase it. The loan is secured against the asset. | St.George purchases the asset on your behalf and you buy it back in instalments. Once you repay the entirety of the loan, ownership transfers to you. | St.George purchases the asset and rents it to your business for an agreed-upon period of time. | A finance lease that is novated to your employer so that it takes on the responsibility for paying the rentals while you remain an employee. |
All vehicle and equipment finance loans from St.George are available from $15,000.
