7 Cashflow Strategies for NSW Concreters
1. Seasonal Payment Structures
NSW construction peaks winter/spring. Structure higher payments ($12k/month) during busy season, reduced payments ($6k/month) summer. Matches your actual cashflow. Ding Financial builds this into loan from day one.
2. Progressive Drawdown Facilities
Pre-approve $500k equipment facility. Draw down as needed: pump today ($280k), mixers next month ($85k), vibrators later ($35k). Only pay interest on drawn amounts. Gives flexibility as business grows.
3. Bundle Small Equipment for Tax Efficiency
Instead of one $55k mixer, buy three $18k units. Instant $54k write-off vs 5-year depreciation. Same equipment, better tax outcome. Works for vibrators, portable mixers, screeds.
4. Refinance & Upgrade Strategy
Start with line pump ($145k). After 18 months, refinance + gap funding for boom pump ($485k). Line pump trade-in ($95k) offsets new loan. Common growth path. Ding Financial structures it from the start.
5. Truck Mixer Chassis Finance
Finance truck chassis separately from mixer drum. Chassis depreciates slower (prime mover rules). Drum accelerated depreciation. Splits assets for better tax treatment. Requires specialist structuring.
6. Balloon Payments for High-Value Pumps
Lower monthly payments with 20-30% balloon. Example: $485k boom pump, 25% balloon = save $1,850/month. Refinance balloon at end or sell equipment. Only if you have strong cashflow or exit plan.
7. Used Equipment for Lower Deposit
Quality used pumps 5-7 years old save 40-50% vs new. Lower absolute deposit ($45k vs $85k) and monthly payments. Ding Financial arranges independent mechanical inspection. Popular for proven models.

Best Advice from 180+ Concrete Equipment Deals
Premium Brands Hold Value
Putzmeister and Schwing pumps retain 50-60% value after 7 years vs 30-40% for budget brands. Higher upfront cost justified by resale. Lenders prefer these brands (better rates, lower deposits). Service network also stronger in NSW.
Start with Line Pump, Upgrade to Boom
Common path: line pump ($145k) for 12-24 months, build customer base, then refinance + upgrade to boom pump ($485k). Trade-in line pump, add gap funding. Lower risk than starting with expensive boom pump without proven work.
Bundle Multiple Vibrators for Instant Deduction
Buy 3-5 vibrators under $20k each for instant write-off. Total package $50-80k, all deductible year 1. Gives you backup equipment (critical for time-sensitive pours) plus maximum tax benefit. Must be installed by June 30.
Inspect Used Pumps Thoroughly
Used concrete pumps save 40-50% but require expert inspection. Check: hydraulic system (most expensive to repair), boom condition (cracks/wear), engine hours vs age, service history (critical). Ding Financial connects you with independent inspectors. Budget $1,500-$2,500 for thorough inspection.
Truck Mixer Finance Requires Customer Contracts
Lenders want proof of demand for $180k-$650k mixer investment. Provide: customer contracts/LOIs, batching plant agreement (if not your own), delivery territory map, volume projections. Strong case gets better rates. Without contracts, deposit increases to 30%.
Seasonal Payments Match NSW Construction Cycle
NSW residential concrete peaks winter/spring, slows summer. Structure loan with higher payments busy months ($12k), lower off-season ($6k). Same total interest, better cashflow management. Ding Financial builds this in from day one.
Mobile Batching Plants for Large Projects
If you secure multi-year infrastructure contract, mobile batching plant ($350k-$850k) makes sense. Relocate between jobs. Depreciate faster (20-30% p.a.) than stationary plants (10-15%). Requires detailed business case for lender approval. Ding Financial specialists handle these complex deals.
