Knowledge Centre

Buying a truck, a chattel mortgage, an ABN car loan, a low doc business loan: the terminology around commercial finance is not always intuitive, and most operators only encounter it when they are already under pressure to decide. The TYG Finance Knowledge Centre exists to change that. It is a plain-English reference covering vehicle, truck, machinery, business and personal asset finance, written and reviewed by the team that arranges these deals every day. Browse by category below, or search for the specific question you came here with. Nothing here is financial advice: it is background, so that when you do talk to a broker, you are asking sharper questions and making a better decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Knowledge Centre financial advice?

No. It is general information intended to help you understand common finance structures and terminology. It does not take into account your personal circumstances, and you should speak with TYG Finance or your accountant before making a decision.

Who writes and reviews this content?

Articles are written and reviewed by the TYG Finance team, led by Jody Vanjour, drawing on day to day experience arranging finance across TYG’s panel of 80-plus lenders.

Does TYG only arrange the finance types covered here?

No. The Knowledge Centre covers our main categories in depth, but TYG works across a broader range of products and lenders. Get in touch to discuss something not covered here.

How often is the content updated?

Articles are reviewed periodically, particularly where thresholds, rates or regulations change. Each article carries a last-reviewed note so you can see how current it is.

How do I get a quote based on my own situation?

The Knowledge Centre is general background, not a quote. Contact TYG Finance directly and we will assess your specific circumstances against our lender panel.
