FINANCE OPTIONS

Chattel Mortgage (AU) or Hire Purchase (NZ)

Machinery Ownership with Tailored Repayments

This is the most common way to finance machinery in New Zealand. You decide what equipment to buy, negotiate the sale with the dealer and then sign a Chattel Mortgage (AU) or Hire Purchase (NZ) agreement to repay the capital and interest to CLAAS Financial Services (CFS) while CFS settles the invoice with your local CLAAS Harvest Centre or Partner Dealer. Ownership passes immediately to you with a mortgage (security interest) held over the equipment by CFS until the final instalment is paid. This option is best for borrowers wishing to preserve working capital while gaining immediate ownership and the ability to build asset equity.  

Finance Lease

An Alternative Source of Funding

CLAAS Financial Services purchases the equipment from your CLAAS Harvest Centre or Partner dealer, you lease the equipment from CFS for a specific time and in return make a series of payments to CFS. You can apply to purchase the equipment at the end of the contract period but must guarantee the residual. Title to the equipment remains with CFS until disposal of the asset (e.g. lease end, transfer of title, trade-in). This option is best for borrowers wanting to preserve working capital without the need for ownership.

Operating Lease

Access the Latest Agricultural Machinery

In an Operating Lease, you simply pay a hire rental fee to CLAAS Financial Services, which allows you to use the equipment for the period specified in the contract hire agreement. After the agreed term, the equipment will typically be returned to the Dealer and your commitment will end. Operating Lease payments are lower than Chattel Mortgage or Hire Purchase instalment payments or Finance Lease agreements for the same equipment, because at the end of the contract period (usually 2 to 5 years) the value of the equipment is recovered by CFS and this value is built-in at the start to provide lower rentals. When combined with a service contract it allows you to predict with more certainly your equipment running costs. This option is popular with corporate borrowers wanting to preserve working capital without the need for ownership and has the option of a service agreement included in the rental.
