Financing an Enclosed Trailer
Enclosed trailers carry race cars, tools, event gear and mobile businesses. Personal buyers finance in their own name and businesses through their ABN.
Lenders value an enclosed trailer mostly on the trailer itself. Expensive fit-outs like cabinetry, workshops, power or air conditioning don't always add the same amount to resale value, so a heavily customised trailer may need a deposit.
Ask the builder to show the trailer and the fit-out separately on the quote. It makes the lender's job easier and helps your accountant if it's for business.
