When you run your own business, having the right tools at your disposal can make all the difference between struggling to get the job done and operating your trade smoothly. For sole traders and small business owners, one such tool is a reliable commercial vehicle. However, finding the right business car loan or vehicle loan can be challenging, especially when it comes to managing your business car finance.
For lots of businesses, a commercial vehicle is often an essential part of running a successful operation. However, the upfront cost of purchasing a business car can be a significant barrier, especially if you’re just starting out or operating on a tight budget. Securing the right business loan or equipment finance at a favorable interest rate and with manageable loan terms is crucial. Additionally, navigating the car finance options available, including the type of business loan that best suits your business, can be complex.
That’s where the Rent To Buy model comes into play. Rent To Buy is a flexible finance product that allows businesses to rent a commercial vehicle from a provider for a set period of time, with the option to purchase that vehicle outright at each anniversary of the rental agreement. This model offers a range of benefits, including lower initial costs, flexible terms, and the fact that rental costs can be tax-deductible. Additionally, this approach can suit your business if you’re looking to avoid a large initial outlay associated with traditional business vehicle finance or a business car loan.
In this guide, you’ll get a comprehensive overview of the Rent To Buy model, from understanding key terms such as ABN, ACN, TFN, and GST, to exploring the benefits and considerations of Rent To Buy compared to other, more traditional car finance options like vehicle loans. We’ll also delve into practical aspects, such as how to choose the right business car for your needs, what to look out for when entering a Rent To Buy agreement, and tips for documenting the details of your vehicle so there are no issues or surprises at the end of the loan term or the Rent To Buy agreement.
Whether you’re a seasoned business owner or a budding entrepreneur, this guide aims to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the Rent To Buy landscape, understand how it compares to traditional business car finance, and make the best decision for your business.
Let’s dive in…
Understanding Key Terms
Before we get into the specifics of Rent To Buy, it’s important to understand some key terms that are often used in the process. These terms are not only crucial for understanding how Rent To Buy works but also for ensuring that your business is compliant with Australian regulations. Additionally, being familiar with these terms can help you better understand the implications of different car loan or business car finance options available to you.
Australian Business Number (ABN): An ABN is a unique 11-digit number that identifies your business to the government and community. It’s essential for a range of business activities, such as invoicing, claiming GST credits, and obtaining an Australian domain name. If you’re planning to Rent To Buy a commercial vehicle, you’ll need an ABN to enter into the agreement, just as you would when applying for a business loan or equipment finance.
Australian Company Number (ACN): An ACN is a unique nine-digit number issued to a company by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) at the time of registration. While an ABN identifies your business, an ACN specifically identifies your company within the Australian business environment. If your business is structured as a company, you’ll have both an ABN and an ACN. However, an ACN isn’t necessary for Rent To Buy agreements unless the agreement is made with a company, similar to certain types of business car finance agreements.
Tax File Number (TFN): A TFN is a unique number issued by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to individuals and organizations to manage tax and other government services. A TFN is particularly important for managing your business’s tax affairs, including claiming tax credits or concessions, and is also necessary when applying for a business loan or other finance product.
Goods and Services Tax (GST): GST is a broad-based tax of 10% on most goods, services, and other items sold or consumed in Australia. If you’re registered for GST, you can claim credits for the GST included in the price of goods and services you use for your business. This includes rental payments on commercial vehicles acquired through a Rent To Buy agreement, just as you might claim GST credits on interest payments for a business car loan.
Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR): The PPSR is a national online register that can provide information to help protect consumers when they’re buying personal property such as cars, boats, or artworks (not land or buildings). It’s a centralised online list that helps people know if something they want to buy, like a car or a boat, has any money owing on it. Checking the PPSR is an important step when considering a vehicle loan or Rent To Buy agreement.
A PPSR can also be valid when no money is owing on it. It’s often used to ensure that the owner of an asset cannot have someone purport to own it, sell it to someone else, and then not be able to prove ownership and get it back.
If you look at this list before you buy, it can help you make sure that what you’re getting is legitimate and doesn’t have any hidden debts attached to it. This is really useful, especially when buying a used car or entering into a Rent To Buy agreement, so you don’t end up with any surprise payments to make after you’ve bought it.
Understanding these key terms is the first step in navigating the Rent To Buy process. In the next section, we’ll look at how to register for these key requirements.
How to Register for Key Requirements
Navigating the business landscape involves understanding and complying with various regulations. Below is a simple guide through the process of registering for key requirements such as an ABN, ACN, TFN, and GST—essential steps whether you’re considering a business car loan, Rent To Buy, or other types of business vehicle finance.

The Rent To Buy Guide
Navigating the world of buying a commercial vehicle can be complex, but understanding the Rent To Buy model can help simplify the process. In this section, we’ll explore how Rent To Buy works, how it compares to other, more traditional financing options like business car loans, and the benefits it offers. Additionally, we’ll touch on how the monthly repayment structure under Rent To Buy agreements can ease your cash flow compared to a standard business car loan.
How Does Rent To Buy Work?
Rent To Buy is a flexible solution that allows you to rent a commercial vehicle for a set period of time – during which you make regular rental payments. At the end of each year of the agreement, you have an option to purchase the vehicle for an agreed price or continue to rent it for another year, when you will once again have the option to purchase it. Unlike traditional business vehicle finance or a business car loan, Rent To Buy doesn’t require a large initial loan amount, making it easier to manage your business finances.
With ARG’s Rent To Buy program, you enter into a 5-year rental agreement with an option to purchase the vehicle outright from ARG after the first 12 months. This offers flexibility similar to a business car loan, but without the need for a significant upfront payment.
Before you enter the agreement, you’ll get a detailed breakdown of exactly how much it will cost to buy the vehicle outright at the end of every 12-month period, so you’ll never be surprised. This transparency is crucial, especially for businesses that need to manage their monthly repayments and overall loan amount carefully.
This has the effect of smoothing out cash flow by using tax-deductible operating expenses (OpEx) rather than capital expenditures (CapEx) to fund your critical asset purchases. Additionally, the Rent To Buy model allows for better management of business purposes, as it provides the option to transition from renting to ownership without the immediate financial burden of a traditional business car loan.
Rent To Buy vs Traditional Financing
Rent To Buy for a commercial vehicle offers a leading alternative to traditional financing methods such as business car loans and vehicle loans. With traditional financing, you generally can’t access the vehicle before you secure a loan to purchase it outright, which could take weeks or, sometimes, months. When you get the loan and buy the vehicle outright, you then repay that loan back over a set period, which, on average, ranges from 3-7 years, with interest rates that may vary based on your credit score and the loan terms.
However, Rent To Buy operates differently. Instead of waiting for a loan to buy the vehicle, you enter a rental agreement in which you rent the vehicle immediately from day one, with the option to buy it outright after the first 12 months. This arrangement allows you to start using the vehicle right away without having to make a massive upfront payment, which can be a significant advantage if you’re managing your monthly repayments on a tight budget.
One significant advantage of Rent To Buy vs traditional financing is its flexibility, particularly regarding credit requirements. Unlike traditional financing, which often demands a strong credit history, Rent To Buy arrangements typically have more lenient credit criteria. This aspect makes Rent To Buy an attractive option if you’ve got a less-than-perfect credit score, a new ABN, or you’re facing challenges getting traditional business car finance.
Rent To Buy agreements often require less documentation compared to traditional financing. Since the buyer is essentially renting the commercial vehicle with an option to buy, the process involves less paperwork and scrutiny of financial history. This streamlined process can be particularly beneficial for businesses looking to access commercial vehicles quickly without the delays often associated with securing a business car loan or equipment finance.
Rent To Buy arrangements typically require lower initial deposits compared to traditional financing options. This can be attractive for buyers who may not have substantial savings for a down payment on a vehicle loan but still need to secure a business car for their operations.
Rent To Buy vs Low Document (‘Low Doc’) Loans
This is an interesting comparison, as you might be surprised to find that Rent To Buy solutions generally require less documentation compared to typical Low Doc loans. Let’s dig in…
Low document loans, often referred to as ‘Low Doc loans,’ generally require less documentation than traditional lenders, settling for things like BAS (Business Activity Statements) returns and tax returns and/or ATO portals when a client is new to the lender.
The thing is, some individuals may be uncomfortable with the idea of sharing their financial information, including tax returns, with a third party like a lender or bank. They may value their privacy and prefer to keep such information confidential, especially if they’re concerned about how this information might impact their ability to secure a business car loan or other business car finance options.
Tax returns contain detailed financial information, including sources of income, deductions, and other financial activities. Some individuals may worry that their tax returns could reveal complexities or inconsistencies that could raise questions or concerns from the bank. They may also be worried about identity theft from compromised data. This concern is one reason why some business owners might prefer Rent To Buy over traditional business car loans that require extensive financial documentation.
Individuals who receive income that is not reported on their tax returns may be reluctant to provide this documentation to a bank. This could include income from sources such as freelance work, cash transactions, or other unreported sources.
At ARG, we don’t require previous tax or BAS returns. Since the client is essentially renting the commercial vehicle with an option to buy, our process generally involves less financial history scrutiny and less paperwork, too. This is because, at ARG, we are far more interested in the work (and therefore revenue) the vehicle will enable our client to earn, rather than focusing on their past financial history, as might be the case with a traditional business car loan application.
Rent To Buy vs Renting
When comparing Rent To Buy with simply renting a vehicle, it’s essential to understand the long-term implications for your business and how these options compare to taking out a business car loan or business vehicle finance.
Traditional renting offers flexibility in the short term, allowing you to use the vehicle without a long-term commitment. However, renting doesn’t provide any opportunity to eventually buy that vehicle. It’s like continuously paying for the privilege of using someone else’s asset without any chance of ever owning it, unlike a business car loan or Rent To Buy agreement.
On the other hand, Rent To Buy presents a more strategic approach. What sets Rent To Buy apart from a traditional rental model is the option for the customer to purchase the vehicle they’re renting after the initial 12-month period. This approach can suit your business if you want the flexibility of renting but also want the option to own the vehicle, similar to what you might consider when taking out a business car loan.
The buyout price also steps down over time, making the purchase more accessible, especially for those with financial constraints. So with Rent To Buy, even though you’re not building equity in the vehicle with your rental payments, you still have the opportunity to eventually own it if you choose to exercise the buyout option, much like paying off a vehicle loan.
Additionally, ARG offers reduced rental charges for customers who have consistently made payments on time and have been excellent payers. This, combined with the option to buy the vehicle, can be particularly beneficial for businesses looking to improve their standing with traditional lenders. Having a good repayment history and tangible assets may enhance their creditworthiness and provide greater security when seeking credit, whether for a business car loan or other financing needs.
Rent To Buy vs Leasing
While Rent To Buy and leasing share some similarities, they diverge in their long-term outcomes for businesses, particularly when compared to traditional vehicle loans or business car finance options.
Similar to Rent To Buy, leasing a vehicle involves paying to use it for a set period. Standard leasing agreements last for about 3 years, after which you typically return the vehicle unless you opt to purchase it. However, leasing often comes with mileage restrictions and almost no customization options, which may not align with the needs of businesses dependent on the vehicle. Additionally, lease agreements may require higher monthly repayments compared to a Rent To Buy arrangement, where the end of the loan term offers a clear path to ownership.
Additionally, businesses may find it challenging to secure leasing agreements due to stringent criteria imposed by leasing companies. On the other hand, ARG’s Rent To Buy solution exercises more lenient criteria, offering an attractive alternative for businesses that may have been rejected by traditional leasing companies or that are struggling to find suitable business car finance.
With Rent To Buy, even though customers rent the vehicle with no equity accumulation, they do have the option to purchase it outright after the first 12 months, with the buy price then stepping down at every subsequent 12-month interval. This makes buying the vehicle outright more accessible, providing a flexible and accommodating solution compared to traditional leasing models or business car loans. Plus, unlike with leasing agreements, ARG offers reduced rental charges for customers who consistently meet their payment obligations.
As many leasing companies won’t take second-hand vehicles, Rent To Buy also tends to give you more options on the type of vehicle you’re after for your business. This may be a deciding factor for businesses searching for assets that need to be a bit more customized to the job, especially when compared to more restrictive business car loans.
Rent To Buy vs Novated Leasing
In a novated lease, the employee leases a vehicle through their employer, with lease payments deducted from their pre-tax salary. At the end of the lease term, the employee may have the option to purchase the vehicle outright, though ownership typically remains with the leasing company during the lease period.
By their very nature, novated leases are not available to entrepreneurs and other commercial users because they are not salaried employees. As such, Rent To Buy tends to be a more suitable option than novated leasing for customers looking for commercial vehicles or seeking a flexible alternative to traditional business car loans.
Rent To Buy vs Rent To Own
Rent To Buy and Rent To Own often get used interchangeably, but it’s important to understand their subtle differences. While both models involve making rental payments, they differ in the overall structure of the agreement and how these payments contribute to eventual ownership.
In the Rent To Own model, a portion of the rental payments goes towards building equity in the vehicle. Essentially, you are gradually purchasing the vehicle over time through your payments, similar to paying off a car loan.
On the other hand, in ARG’s Rent To Buy model, the rental payments do not directly contribute to building equity in the vehicle. However, you have the opportunity to purchase the vehicle at discounted buyout options at the end of every 12 months during your 5-year rental agreement. While this means that you don’t build equity in the vehicle directly through your payments, you have the flexibility to transition to ownership if you choose to exercise your right to purchase, much like deciding to pay off a car loan at the end of its term.
Interestingly, despite these differences in structure, the ultimate outcome of both models often leads to a similar result. Whether through gradual equity accumulation in Rent To Own or discounted buyout options in Rent To Buy, customers can ultimately achieve ownership of the vehicle. Therefore, the choice between Rent To Buy and Rent To Own often comes down to other factors such as additional flexibilities offered in the agreements, which might suit your business needs better.
These additional factors may include the ability to brand the vehicle, flexibility in usage terms, customer service and support, and overall affordability. You should carefully evaluate these aspects to determine which option best aligns with your needs and objectives, whether you’re considering a Rent To Buy agreement, a business car loan, or another type of business vehicle finance.
Benefits of Rent To Buy
Rent To Buy offers businesses a stress-free way to access commercial vehicles with smaller upfront expenses compared to traditional business car loans or other vehicle loans. Its flexible terms allow for tailored agreements that accommodate specific needs. This adaptability ensures businesses can align their vehicle acquisition goals with operational demands and budget constraints, without the pressure of large monthly repayments typical of business car finance.
Rent To Buy with Confidence
With yearly purchase options established at the beginning of the contract, Rent To Buy offers total transparency. You can buy the vehicle after an initial 12-month period, giving you control over your business’s financial future, without the long-term commitment and complexities associated with a traditional vehicle loan or business car finance.
What to Keep an Eye Out for When You Want to Rent To Buy
When considering Rent To Buy, look for low-doc applications, easy-to-understand contracts, and quick vehicle delivery once contracts are signed. These features can make the process smoother and more efficient, helping you get your commercial vehicle on the road faster, which is crucial if you’re also balancing other business car finance commitments.
Understanding the Rent To Buy model is crucial for making an informed decision about your commercial vehicle purchase plans. By understanding the differences between Rent To Buy, business car loans, and other types of vehicle loans, you can make the best choice for your business.
In the next section, we’ll discuss what your accountant needs to know about Rent To Buy and how it might impact your overall business finance strategy.
What Your Accountant Needs to Know About Rent To Buy
When considering a Rent To Buy agreement for a commercial vehicle, it’s important to involve your accountant in the decision-making process. They can provide valuable insights into the financial implications and potential tax benefits of Rent To Buy. Here are some key points your accountant should be aware of, especially when comparing Rent To Buy to traditional business car finance or vehicle loan options:
Rent payments: In a Rent To Buy agreement, your regular payments are typically classified as rental payments rather than loan repayments. This distinction can have tax implications, as rental payments for business use are generally tax-deductible. Chat to your accountant—they’ll be able to give you more information regarding this as it relates to your particular situation.
Option to purchase: The option to purchase the vehicle at the end of every 12-month term during your 5-year contract is a key feature of Rent To Buy. Your accountant should understand the terms of this option, including the purchase price and the timing, as it can impact your business’s cash flow and tax planning, just as with the end of a loan term in a traditional vehicle loan.
GST credits: If your business is registered for GST, you may be able to claim GST credits for the GST included in the price of the rented vehicle. Make sure you speak to your accountant about your eligibility for these credits and if, or how, you can claim them, as this might differ depending on whether you’re using a Rent To Buy agreement or traditional business car finance.
Balance sheet impact: Unlike traditional financing, a Rent To Buy agreement may not require the vehicle to be listed as an asset with a corresponding liability on your balance sheet until you decide to purchase. This can impact your business’s financial ratios and borrowing capacity. Again, you’ll have to consult your accountant about this, especially if you’re comparing Rent To Buy to a business car loan or other vehicle finance product.
End of term options: At the end of the 5-year Rent To Buy term, you have the option to purchase the vehicle or renegotiate a new contract. Each of these options has different financial and tax implications, which your accountant can help you navigate, so make sure you speak to them about it. This is similar to what you might encounter at the end of a loan term for a business car loan or vehicle loan.
By understanding these key points, your accountant can provide accurate advice and help you make the most of your decision to Rent To Buy, whether you’re comparing it to business car finance, vehicle loans, or other financing options.
In the next section, we’ll delve into choosing the right commercial vehicle for your business, an important consideration whether you’re using Rent To Buy, a business car loan, or other vehicle finance options.
Choosing the Right Commercial Vehicle
Choosing the right commercial vehicle is a crucial decision that can impact your business’s operations and bottom line. Here are some key considerations to help you make an informed choice, especially when balancing your needs with the terms of a Rent To Buy agreement or business car finance.
Who Needs a Commercial Vehicle?
A wide range of businesses can benefit from a commercial vehicle. If your business involves transporting goods, equipment, or personnel, a commercial vehicle can be a valuable asset. This includes businesses in sectors like construction, delivery services, catering, maintenance, cleaning services, and more. Even if your business doesn’t involve transportation, a commercial vehicle can still be useful for tasks like client meetings or site visits, but it becomes more important to consider the investment versus the payoff, especially if you’re using a vehicle loan or business car loan.
Do I Need a Dedicated Business Vehicle?
Having a dedicated business vehicle can offer several advantages. It can help you maintain a professional image, provide a mobile advertising opportunity, and keep your business and personal expenses separate for tax purposes. Plus, a dedicated business vehicle can be equipped to meet your specific business needs, whether that’s refrigeration for a catering business or shelving for a mobile repair service. If you’re considering a business car loan or Rent To Buy agreement, ensuring the vehicle suits your business purposes is essential.
What Types of Vehicles Are Available for My Business?
The type of vehicle that’s best for your business will depend on your specific needs. Here are a few options to consider, whether you’re using a vehicle loan, Rent To Buy, or other business car finance:
- Vans: Ideal for businesses that need to transport goods or equipment. They offer plenty of storage space and can be fitted with shelving or other customisations.
- Utes: Great for construction, general trades, or landscaping businesses. They offer a mix of passenger space and cargo capacity, with the added benefit of being able to handle off-road conditions.
- Trucks: Suitable for businesses that need to transport large quantities of goods. They come in a range of sizes and configurations to suit different needs.
- Excavators: A good option for businesses in need of heavy-duty construction needs, or smaller jobs involving gardening, landscaping, or general outdoor maintenance.
How to Get an Accurate Valuation for the Commercial Vehicle You’re After
Getting an accurate valuation for a commercial vehicle involves researching the market and understanding the factors that influence vehicle prices. Whether you’re using Rent To Buy, a business car loan, or another finance product, knowing the vehicle’s value is critical.
These can include the vehicle’s make and model, its age, odometer reading, condition, and any additional features or customizations.
Online resources, such as car sales websites or vehicle valuation tools, can provide a good starting point. However, for a more accurate valuation, consider getting an appraisal from a professional vehicle valuer or dealer. This is particularly important if you’re using a business car loan or other vehicle finance product, as the loan amount will often be directly related to the vehicle’s valuation.
At ARG, we have an internal valuation team that will give you a valuation for the vehicle you’ve got in mind after you’ve provided us with your initial application information and the details of the commercial vehicle you’re after. You can find a step-by-step guide on how to take vehicle photos for a valuation HERE.
Next, let’s look at some tips for documenting the vehicle you’d like to Rent To Buy, a crucial step whether you’re considering a Rent To Buy agreement or another type of business car finance.
Documenting the Vehicle Once You’ve Got It
Properly documenting the commercial vehicle once you’ve got it is an important part of the Rent To Buy process. It can help you keep track of the vehicle’s condition, provide evidence in case of disputes, and assist in maintaining the vehicle’s value. This step is essential whether you’re entering into a Rent To Buy agreement, a business car loan, or another type of vehicle loan.
Below are some tips for documenting the vehicle.
Tips for Taking Good Odometer Photos:
- Ensure the vehicle is parked in a well-lit area.
- Make sure the entire odometer is visible in the photo.
- Take a close-up photo that clearly shows the numbers.
- If possible, include the date and time in the photo for reference.
Where to Find the VIN Number:
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is usually found on the driver’s side dashboard, visible through the windshield, or on the driver’s side door post. It can also be listed in the vehicle’s registration documents.
Tips for Taking Good Photos to Show the Vehicle Interior:
- Clean the interior of the vehicle before taking photos.
- Take photos during the day to ensure good lighting.
- Capture all areas of the interior, including the front and back seats, the dashboard, and the trunk.
- Take close-up photos of any notable features or damages.
Tips for Taking Good Photos to Show the Vehicle Exterior:
- Wash the vehicle before taking photos.
- Take photos in a well-lit area, preferably outside during the day.
- Capture all sides of the vehicle, including the front, back, and both sides.
- Take close-up photos of the wheels, mirrors, and any notable features or damages.
Tips for Taking Good Photos of the Transmission Type:
- Take a clear photo of the gear shift, which usually indicates the transmission type.
- If the vehicle has a manual transmission, take a photo of the clutch pedal.
Tips for Taking Good Photos to Show the Condition of the Vehicle:
- Take photos of any existing damage, such as scratches, dents, or rust.
- Capture the condition of the tires, including tread depth.
- If possible, take photos of the engine compartment to show the condition of the engine.
By properly documenting the vehicle, you can ensure a smooth and transparent Rent To Buy process. In the next section, we’ll wrap up with some final thoughts on Rent To Buy for commercial vehicles, particularly when comparing it to traditional business car finance or vehicle loans.
