At Ing Heng Credit, we offer:
- Zero Down Payment: For companies with 2+ years track record and decent bank statements.
- Low Deposit (10%): For newer companies (1-2 years).
- Trade-In as Deposit: Trade in your old, broken machine as your down payment for a newer unit.
5. Documents Required for Heavy Machinery Loan
The list is short and simple.
- Company Registration: SSM (Form 9/24/49/M&A or Form D/E).
- Directorโs IC: Front and back copy.
- Bank Statements: Latest 6 months (Company account).
- Quotation: From the seller (Dealer or Direct Owner).
- Project Documents (Optional): Letter of Award (LOA) or Contracts to prove future income.
Buying from a Friend/Direct Owner? No problem. We can finance โDirect Ownerโ deals. You act as the buyer, they act as the seller. We pay them directly.
