The four step approval process
- Step 01
Enquire
Send us a few details to start. We can usually explain the available pathway within a few hours.
- Step 02
We Find Your Lender
We compare your deal across 80+ lenders and match it to the ones most likely to approve it at the sharpest rate.
- Step 03
Lender Approval
We package and submit your application, negotiate the terms, and come back to you with a clear approval.
- Step 04
Settlement
We handle the paperwork, get your documents signed, and your loan settles, funds released to you or the seller.
Available structures
Choose a structure that fits the purchase
Ownership, use and cashflow guide the commercial structure.
Chattel mortgage
The business owns the truck while the lender holds security, subject to approval.
Commercial hire purchase
The financier purchases the truck and the business hires it under the agreement.
Finance lease
The business leases the truck for the term with end-of-term conditions set in the contract.
The basics
Match the Hino model to the work.
Compare Hino truck finance for eligible new and used models, including chattel mortgage, hire purchase and lease structures.
A delivery 300 Series, medium-duty 500 Series and heavy-duty 700 Series create different purchase prices, payloads and income profiles. The finance needs to reflect the actual truck, body, route and contract behind it.
We compare eligible commercial vehicle lenders using the full supplied-and-fitted cost. That can include an approved tray, tipper, pantech, refrigerated body or other equipment when the lender can identify and value the completed asset.
Repayment timing, deposit, balloon and term are tested against the truck's expected use. Tax and accounting treatment depends on the business and structure, so those questions belong with the business accountant.
Finance the complete build
Provide the chassis and body invoices early. A lender needs to understand the finished truck, total cost and settlement sequence before approval can become unconditional.
Before you decide
The benefit of moving now and the cost of waiting
A useful comparison considers both what the finance may make possible and what leaving the underlying need unresolved may continue to cost.
Pros
- Access the vehicles or equipment needed to take on suitable work and serve customers.
- Preserve working capital for wages, materials, tax and other operating expenses.
- Replace an unreliable or unsuitable asset before downtime and repair costs increase.
Cons
- Suitable contracts may be missed when the required vehicle or equipment is not available.
- An older asset can keep breaking down when there is not enough cash available to replace it outright.
- Buying the asset outright can reduce the cash buffer available for payroll, materials and unexpected costs.

Compare the fit
Who it suits and when to compare alternatives
Hino finance suits businesses acquiring a truck for a defined commercial role.
A strong fit
- Established transport and trade businesses
- Owner-drivers with contracts or trading evidence
- Businesses replacing or adding productive capacity
Compare another option
- A personal-use vehicle
- A body build with no final specification or quote
- A repayment relying on unverified future work
Application clarity
Common roadblocks and the next practical step
Truck applications pause when the asset, work or cashflow is incomplete.
Body value is unclear
A custom build needs specifications and supportable supplied-and-fitted pricing.
Repayment exceeds contract margin
Revenue needs to cover fuel, wages, maintenance, insurance and finance.
Used truck outside policy
Age, kilometres or condition can shorten the available term or require more equity.
Broker insight
Provide the chassis and body invoices early. A lender needs to understand the finished truck, total cost and settlement sequence before approval can become unconditional.

Real people. Real results.
5.0“Super helpful, friendly and fast. Secured a bank loan beyond expectations and did all the tricky leg work. Definitely be using their services again. Corey was a legend!”
“I can’t recommend Corey from X Lend highly enough. From the very first conversation, he was professional, transparent, and genuinely focused on finding the best outcome for me. Corey took the time to explain every step of the finance process in a way that was easy to understand, answered all my questions promptly, and never once made me feel rushed or pressured. I really appreciated how proactive he was, keeping me updated, following up with lenders, and making sure everything stayed on track. What really stood out was how hard he worked to secure a great deal. He compared multiple lenders, negotiated on my behalf, and ultimately achieved a rate and repayment structure that exceeded my expectations. The whole process of purchasing my car was smooth and stress‑free thanks to their expertise. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely in your corner, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. I’ll definitely be using their services again in the future :)”
“Corey helped me through the entire process of getting my dream family car! He was extremely prompt with his responses and had everything organised quickly and smoothly. I made a huge mistake by settling finance on the wrong car (a 5‑seater instead of a 7‑seater), but Corey was incredibly understanding and supportive. He contacted the dealership, lender, and even rearranged my insurance for me. He did all of this without ever making me feel like a hassle, even though I knew I was being a pain! Despite the setback, Corey stayed fast and efficient, kept me confident throughout the process, and managed to get everything cancelled and re‑approved for a higher amount so I could get my actual dream car. I highly recommend Corey. He speaks to you like a friend and genuinely has your best interests at heart. I already had quotes from Toyota Finance and Toyota Insurance, and Corey was able to get both significantly cheaper. Toyota Finance even reviewed Corey’s figures and confirmed they couldn’t beat them. I will never look to another finance company again.”
“My first experience with a broker, Corey made the whole process so smooth and simple and stress free. Communication was outstanding, he explained everything so I could understand what was happening as it was happening and kept me in the loop for the whole process, he was so kind and friendly and happy to answer any questions I had. He went above and beyond what I expected and has helped me greatly with his expertise. It was a fast process from start to finish and will definitely be using X lend for any future financial matters! Thanks Corey!”
“I was trying to get a loan for my dream car but was struggling getting approved with my bank but Corey was extremely helpful throughout the entire loan process. He followed up with multiple lenders, secured me a much better interest rate than my initial CommBank offer, and stayed persistent on my behalf. He kept me updated every step of the way, and I genuinely don’t think I would have been approved without his support. The customer service was very professional and friendly. Highly recommend to everyone”
Questions Answered
Hino Truck Loans and Finance frequently asked questions
Straight answers to common questions before you compare finance or start an application.
Often, where the lender accepts the body, invoices and finished asset value. Settlement may need coordination between suppliers.
Some pathways may exist with experience, work evidence, deposit and suitable security. Policy is narrower for a new business.
Potentially. Age, kilometres, condition, purchase price and the proposed term all matter.
That depends on the business and accounting treatment. Ask your accountant, then we can compare finance within the chosen pathway.
