    FAQ

    Getting finance to purchase a forklift means that you don’t need to pay for it upfront. You can receive the purchase price funds required from a lender and pay it back over a specified period while having use of the equipment for your business.

     

    It is a convenient way to finance a forklift without having to make a large capital outlay that could impact your cash flow or balance sheet.

    The main benefit of financing the purchase of a forklift is that you can invest in your business without tying up capital or impacting your cash flow. It means you can acquire the equipment without having to provide the funds yourself and then repay them over time. This helps to avoid the risks of having such a large capital expenditure on your balance sheet.

     

    Both large and small businesses use equipment financing as a way to make large capital expenditures while managing their cash flow and the company’s balance sheet. It allows you to acquire a forklift for your business whilst also avoiding the uncertainties that are associated with large capital expenditures.

    There are four main types of loans available for forklift financing:

     

    • Finance Lease. In this type of financing the forklift is owned by you (the lessee) and is not on your balance sheet. Payments made in full for its financing are tax-deductible. At the end of the finance term, the forklift is returned to the finance provider (the lessor) or purchased by you for an agreed price.
    • Operating Lease. In this type of financing the forklift is owned by the lessor and is not on your balance sheet. Payments made in full for its financing are tax-deductible. At the end of the finance term, the forklift can be returned to the lessor or purchased by you for an agreed price.
    • Commercial Hire Purchase. In this type of financing the forklift is owned by you and is categorised as on your balance sheet. In this type of financing, only the interest portion of your payments is tax-deductible but you can claim depreciation costs for the forklift. At the end of the finance term, you own the forklift (although in some cases a final, residual payment may be required).
    • Chattel Mortgage. This type of financing is like a traditional secured loan where the forklift acts as security for the loan. Like the previous financing method, the forklift is owned by you, the interest component is tax-deductible and you can claim for depreciation costs. At the end of the finance term, you own the forklift outright.

     

    The type of financing you choose for your forklift will depend on your specific business needs including the tax implications of payments and depreciation costs, whether you want it on your balance sheet, and whether you want to have ownership of the forklift at the end of the finance term (and whether you have to make an additional payment).
