As 30 June approaches, many Australian business owners start asking the same question:
How do I get EOFY ready — and should I be using finance to do it?
From purchasing equipment under the Instant Asset Write-Off to managing tax obligations or short-term cash flow pressure, EOFY business loans can play a practical role in helping businesses prepare for the year ahead.
Here’s what to consider before the deadline.
The end of financial year isn’t just about finalising accounts. It’s often when businesses:
Without preparation, these expenses can strain working capital. With the right funding structure, they can become strategic investments instead.
The Australian Government has extended the $20,000 Instant Asset Write-Off to 30 June 2026 for eligible small businesses.
This allows qualifying businesses to immediately deduct the business portion of eligible assets costing less than $20,000 each — provided they are installed and ready for use before the deadline.
This may apply to:
Timing is critical. Assets must be delivered and ready for use before 30 June 2026 — ordering alone is not enough.
For eligibility advice, always speak with your accountant or registered tax adviser.
EOFY funding isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right solution depends on what your business needs.
If you’re purchasing equipment or vehicles, asset finance allows you to spread the cost over time rather than paying upfront.
This can help:
If you’re investing in vehicles specifically, you may want to explore your options for business car loans and commercial vehicle finance.
Some businesses don’t need new assets — they simply need flexibility.
Working capital finance can help:
This is especially relevant for businesses experiencing uneven revenue cycles.
If your business is facing a tax bill and needs breathing room, tax debt finance can provide structured repayment options rather than disrupting day-to-day operations.
EOFY can create pressure — structured funding can help manage it responsibly.
For time-sensitive opportunities or urgent costs before 30 June, short-term funding can provide fast access to capital when timing matters most.
If you want to avoid last-minute pressure, consider:
Waiting until late June often limits options and adds unnecessary stress.
EOFY shouldn’t just be about minimising tax — it can also be about positioning your business for the year ahead.
Whether that means:
The right EOFY business loan structure can help your business move forward without overextending cash reserves.
