Software & Technology
Having the right technology in your business has never been more fundamental. Many companies lag behind the competition as they restrict their IT Infrastructure spending based on budgetary constraints. With technology finance and leasing, you utilise the benefits of your chosen platforms without being weighed down with expensive and outdated technology software and equipment.
RION has over 20 years of lending experience, and we understand the importance of having the right IT solution in running a successful business. We’ll also handle everything from start to finish, letting you focus on what you do best.
Speak with our RION experts today and learn more about how we can help you to finance your technology needs.
Import Lease
What’s an import lease, you might say? Most lenders and banks won’t fund your equipment until it’s installed and fully commissioned. If you're importing a piece of equipment or specialised vehicle from overseas, and your supplier doesn’t fund the transfer, how do you get it here?
This is where an import lease helps. Using our knowledge of international trade finance, an import lease sustains cash flow and funds the importation of the goods into the country and during installation. Once the goods are finished and commissioned, the import finance is then converted into a normal asset finance solution.
What’s more, we can also talk about protecting you with an FX Strategy to minimise exposure to currency movements with our foreign exchange serivces for large and chunky one-off transactions.

Asset Finance (Continued)
Typical Asset Finance Products
Chattel Mortgage
Much like a secured loan, only for assets purchased primarily for business use. The borrowing entity owns the asset, and the lender takes a mortgage over said asset as security.
Commercial Hire Purchase
In a Commercial Hire Purchase (CHP) arrangement, the lender agrees to purchase the asset on behalf of the borrower, and then hire it back to them over a set period. The lender owns the asset.
The borrower uses the asset for the contract term but is not the asset owner. At the end of the term, when the total price of the asset (minus any residual) and the interest charges have been paid in full, the borrower takes ownership.
Finance Lease
A Finance Lease enables business customers to use an asset or commercial vehicle while the lender retains ownership of the asset. The lender purchases the asset, and the borrowing entity then leases it back from the lender and pays a fixed monthly rental for the leased term.
At the end of the lease term, the borrowing entity can either:
- pay a residual value (final instalment) on the lease and take ownership, or
- trade it in, or
- re-finance the residual value
A finance lease works much like a CHP. However, there are three distinct differences:
- Ownership - In CHPs, the ownership is transferred to the purchase hirer (borrower) after the final payment. In a finance lease, there is only a possibility of ownership when the lease period ends.
- Depreciation – with a finance lease, the lessor (lender) derives the depreciation benefit, while in a CHP, the hire purchaser (borrower) gets the depreciation benefit.
- Expense – with a CHP and Chattel Mortgage, only the interest and depreciation can be expensed. Depending on the lease agreement, you may be able to deduct the total repayment amount. This will depend on whether ownership will be transferred at the end of the lease.
Rental
This is an agreement between a lender and a customer whereby the lender buys and owns the equipment on behalf of the customer. The lender then rents it to the customer for fixed monthly rent payments over a fixed period. At the end of the contract the equipment is either:
- returned to the lender
- retained and a new rental agreement established
- or is bought by the customer outright at market value
