Securing low rate farming machine finance through Business.Finance on a pre-approved basis, can equip agri operators for ordering at upcoming field days 2024. The annual schedule of agricultural focussed shows, expos and events is underway already with nearly all states and territories holding an event in the first half of the year. Many of these shows focus on agri equipment, providing attendees with the ideal opportunity to place orders on the latest models.

Placing orders at shows saves time visiting the dealership in town at a later time and may allow the machinery to be delivered, commissioned and delivering yields sooner. To ensure operators are equipped to order, we provide a pre-approved farming and agriculture machinery loans.

Approval of the credit application with an offer on a certain amount with repayment schedules, all before the order has been placed. Convenient, time-saving and a highly efficient way to approach agri equipment funding.

To allow operators to plan which events to attend and schedule when to apply for funding, we’ve compiled a calendar of some of the events coming up around the country between now and June.

Prepare Machine Financing Plans for Field Days 2024

Once the date of an upcoming expo has been diarised, it’s time to note when to apply for the financing. When we arrange pre-approved loans, they are offered for a certain time period after which that offer expires. Applicants can reapply but the offer may change after the expiry date. To get a clearer idea of timing for your specific requirements, please contact us.

As part of the preparation, buyers can use our Commercial Finance Calculator to compare interest rates on the different funding options and to compare repayment estimates for different priced machinery. This may include comparing new with used to decide if bidding at the Diesel and Dirt Pickles sale event is the preferred option for you.

When comparing rates with a view to apply for credit at a later date, be aware that lenders can change interest rates either in response to RBA decisions with the cash rate or their own assessments of market conditions.

When loans are arranged before purchase, the same loan products – Lease, Chattel Mortgage, Rent-to-Own and CHP are available; the same application approval process is conducted; and the same interest rates applicable to that machinery and that customer profile will apply.

All operational structures are eligible for approval pre-purchase including new enterprises and sole traders. Save time, increase the convenience and receive expert funding services by applying for pre-approved machinery credit to order at this year’s industry events.
