As the End of Financial Year (EOFY) approaches, businesses are gearing up for last-minute equipment purchases. For smooth sailing during this busy period, I always advise my clients to reach out early so we can secure the best pre-approval without any undue stress.

Assessing your equipment needs and financing options at EOFY allows for better planning for the year ahead. This includes effective cash flow management and strategic decisions regarding leases or purchases.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to navigating the EOFY transition:

1. Meet with your accountant: Collaborate with your accountant to strategise EOFY tax planning and maximise deductions.

2. Get pre-approval in place: Secure pre-approvals for your next equipment purchase to save time and streamline the financing process.

3. Take advantage of Tax Incentives: Consult with your broker and tax advisor to leverage available tax write-offs and incentives.

4. Be aware of Bank Deadlines: Banks may have set deadlines for loan processing before EOFY, potentially moving forward due to high demand.

5. Mitigate Supply Chain Delays: Factor in any supply chain delays in your planning to minimise disruptions to your business operations.

A proactive call to your equipment finance specialist can alleviate stress, save money, and ensure you capitalise on the current tax benefits.

By staying ahead of the game, you can hit the ground running in the new financial year, ensuring your business's equipment needs are met with the best possible outcomes. Don’t wait until the last minute – start preparing today for a successful EOFY transition!
