Things to consider when purchasing a horse float
Before taking the plunge and buying a horse float in New Zealand, there are some things you should keep in mind. This is a large purchase and shouldn’t be taken lightly. You can choose between a new or secondhand float, depending on how much you want to spend. However, when purchasing a secondhand horse trailer, it is vital that you buy from a reliable and trustworthy seller. This trailer will be used to keep your horse safe on long journeys, so it is best not to go cheap. If you’re finding that you don’t have the funds for a good quality horse float, getting a horse float loan is a good option.
What do you need to apply for a horse trailer loan?
To apply for a loan for your horse float in New Zealand, there are a few things you will need. Firstly, you will need a good credit score. As with all financing and loans, credit scores are vitally important. Next, you will need to have a deposit, also known as a down payment, saved up. For those who were you looking to buy a horse trailer with cash, this money is probably already available. Lastly, do your research on loan terms and interest rates. And don’t be fooled if something looks too good to be true.
The benefits of a horse float loan
There are so many benefits to financing a horse float rather than buying one cash. Since it frees up so much more money for you, you will have much more confidence to shop around and get a horse trailer that is of the best quality for your money. Going cheap only costs you more money in the long run. Horse loan finance is also available for 100% of the purchase price depending on your application. This means that while a deposit is recommended, it is not the only option. The interest on your loan may also be tax deductible, but chat to a financial advisor to be sure.
Handy tips
Using the horse float loan for upgrading
You can use this loan to upgrade your existing horse float, such as adding more features to it like a tack room or living area. You could also add some tech and security upgrades, such as a GPS locator and a security camera. All brilliant upgrades to ensure the safety of your horse.
Horse float loans give peace of mind
Since you can get pre-approved for your finance, you know exactly how much you have available to spend on your horse trailer. This makes the whole shopping process easier.
Personal vs commercial loans
There are two types of loans available for horse floats: personal and commercial. The first is pretty self-explanatory but it basically means that an individual is applying for a loan for a horse float costing less than $20 000. These loans have smaller interest rates and must be paid off over a shorter period of time. Commercial loans are for much larger purchases of more than $20 000. These are paid off over a longer period and have a higher interest rate.
Flexible payment options
Depending on your cash flow, you can make payments into your loan weekly, fortnightly, and monthly. Paying it off faster means less interest but spreading payments out also allows you to manage cash flow and free up liquid cash for emergencies.
What if I have bad credit?
Unfortunately, bad credit will affect your chances of getting approved for a horse float loan. At Crester Credit, we are responsible lenders and so ensure that our clients can afford the loans they are seeking. However, other factors are taken into account, such as other investments and the strength of your income.
