Case Study: Fast, Flexible Business Equipment Finance for a Mobile Fabrication Business in Mackay, QLD

Mortar Finance recently assisted a growing mobile fabrication business operating in Mackay, Queensland, by securing fast and flexible business equipment finance to support the delivery of a newly awarded fencing contract. The client required funding for a Honda Buggy, an essential piece of light commercial equipment that would allow their team to operate efficiently across challenging terrain while maintaining tight project timelines.

With speed, simplicity, and minimal disruption to business operations as top priorities, Mortar Finance delivered a streamlined equipment finance solution that was approved the same day and settled the following business day.

Client Background and Requirements

The client operates a mobile fabrication business servicing regional Queensland, with a strong track record of completing fencing and structural fabrication projects across remote and semi-rural sites. After securing a new fencing contract, the business identified an immediate need for an all-terrain vehicle to transport tools, materials, and staff safely and efficiently across job sites.

The specific requirements included:

• Funding for the purchase of a Honda Buggy to support on-site operations
• Equipment suitable for all-terrain use on fencing and fabrication projects
• Fast approval and settlement to meet strict project start dates
• Minimal paperwork and disruption to day-to-day business activities
• A finance structure aligned with cash flow and contract requirements

Given the time-sensitive nature of the contract, delays in securing equipment could have impacted the client’s ability to deliver the project on schedule.

The Challenge

While the client had a strong financial position, the key challenge was speed. The equipment was required almost immediately, leaving little room for lengthy approval processes or complex documentation. Additionally, not all lenders have an appetite for light commercial equipment such as buggies, particularly when fast turnaround times are required.

Mortar Finance needed to identify a lender that understood the client’s industry, could assess the application efficiently, and provide a flexible finance structure without unnecessary conditions.

Mortar Finance’s Solution

Leveraging our existing relationship with the client and our detailed knowledge of their financial position, Mortar Finance was able to act quickly and decisively.

We assessed the client’s current business operations, upcoming contract income, and long-term growth plans to determine the most suitable funding approach. Based on this assessment, we selected a lender with a strong appetite for light commercial equipment and a proven ability to deliver rapid approvals.

The finance facility was structured to align with the client’s operational needs, ensuring manageable repayments that supported cash flow while the new contract was underway. By keeping the structure simple and efficient, we ensured the client could focus on delivering their project rather than managing complex finance arrangements.

Equipment Finance Approval and Settlement Process

Thanks to the client’s strong credit score and property ownership, the lender was able to assess the application quickly and confidently.

Key milestones included:

• Same-day approval following submission of the application
• Assessment based on strong credit history and asset position
• Settlement completed the following business day
• Funds released in time for immediate equipment purchase

This rapid turnaround allowed the client to take delivery of the Honda Buggy without delay and commence work on the fencing contract as planned.

The Outcome

With the new Honda Buggy in operation, the client was able to mobilise quickly and operate efficiently across challenging terrain. The equipment significantly improved on-site productivity, reduced manual handling, and supported timely project delivery.

Most importantly, the finance solution was delivered with minimal disruption to business operations, allowing the client to focus on fulfilling contract obligations and maintaining momentum in their growing business.
