  • Novated leasing

    in Novated Lease

    Have you ever wondered what a novated lease is? It is a fantastic way of financing a vehicle from your pre-tax income. Novated leasing is a common and popular method of financing. Employers and employees both benefit greatly from having such a financing program. Employers no longer need to keep company cars on hand and on their balance books as employees can finance their own car for company use. The employer can offer an attractive salary which is packaged so that the car finance payments are deduced from the employee’s pre-tax income. This is a great way of retaining staff and attracting new staff.

    Employees benefit from salary packaging as they save tax. The car repayments are made from their pre-tax income, thus effectively increasing their take home pay. Alternatively, they may wish to take out a fully maintained novated lease, whereby the running costs of the vehicle are also deducted from their pre-tax income. Running costs of a vehicle include, fuel, insurance, registration, servicing and tyres. The tax savings run into the thousands and if they wish to finance their partner’s car through the salary packaging method the savings are further increased.

    Speak to a Madison Finance representative today on how a novated lease will benefit you. Our experienced novated lease specialists are on hand to take your call on 1300 887 967.

  • Equipment finance for your business

    in Car Finance

    If you require finance for your business you will find there are many financing options available to you. Running a business is costly so you want to ensure that you are obtaining the equipment you require to run your business efficiently in the most cost effective way.

     We find that new businesses often don’t qualify for finance so equipment rental is a practical solution for them until they qualify for finance. By renting your equipment you will have the opportunity to obtain the equipment you require immediately to run your business effectively so you can start to see a return. Once you have rented your equipment for a stated term you will have the option to purchase the equipment outright, finance it, continue to rent or change it for another piece of equipment.

    For established businesses rental is still an option as it enables them to obtain the equipment they require without using much needed cash resources. It also enables them to trial the equipment before they decide to purchase it. Alternatively, they may wish to take out a lease, chattel mortgage or commercial hire purchase.
