| Businesses with bank statements and BAS available | Light Doc |

Low Doc Vehicle Finance
Low Doc finance is designed for borrowers who want a simple, streamlined approval process. In most cases, no financial statements or BAS statements are required. Approval is generally based on your ABN history, credit profile, and the asset being financed.
Light Doc Vehicle Finance
Light Doc finance provides a middle ground between Low Doc and Full Doc lending. Borrowers can often qualify using recent business bank statements and limited supporting documentation, without the need for full financial accounts.
Full Doc Vehicle Finance
Full Doc finance is suitable for borrowers who can provide complete financial records and supporting documentation. This option typically offers the most competitive rates and highest borrowing capacity.
Transport Vehicle Loans — frequently asked questions
Can I get a loan on a new or used transport vehicle?
Yes — we arrange new and used transport vehicle loans bought from dealers, private sellers or at auction, with the rate and term matched to the asset.
What interest rate will I get on a vehicle loan?
Rates start from 6.55% p.a. for a strong, asset-backed vehicle loan and move up with the age of the vehicle, the term, any deposit and your credit profile. Because we compare a panel of lenders on one application, we quote the sharpest rate you actually qualify for rather than a single bank's rate card.
Can I get a vehicle loan without financials (low-doc)?
Yes. For an eligible loan under a lender limit we can arrange a low-doc vehicle loan with no tax returns or BAS, on the strength of your ABN age, GST registration and clean credit. It typically needs a 2+ year ABN and sits slightly above a full-doc rate.
Who can apply for a vehicle loan?
ABN holders — sole traders, partnerships and companies. Commercial lending to ABN holders sits largely outside consumer credit rules, which usually means a faster, simpler process than a personal loan.
Does enquiring about a vehicle loan affect my credit score?
No. The initial enquiry is a soft check only and does not affect your credit score. We only lodge a formal loan application to a lender once you have seen the numbers and told us to proceed.
Do I need a deposit for a vehicle loan?
Not always. $0-deposit vehicle loans are available for eligible deals, subject to assessment. A deposit or trade-in can help with a newer ABN or an older asset, and it lowers the amount borrowed and your repayments.
What loan terms are available?
Vehicle loan terms typically run from 1 to 7 years. A longer term lowers the repayment but costs more interest overall; a shorter term costs less interest but repays faster. We help you balance cash flow against total cost.
Can I get a loan on a new or used vehicle?
Both. We arrange loans for new vehicles (dealer stock and factory orders) and used vehicles bought from a dealer, at auction or from a private seller. On a used vehicle, its age, kilometres and condition can affect the rate and term.
Can I buy from a private seller or at auction with a vehicle loan?
Yes. For a private sale the lender verifies ownership and checks the vehicle is clear of existing finance (a PPSR check) before releasing the loan funds. We manage that process with you.
How does a balloon or residual work on a vehicle loan?
A balloon (or residual) is a lump sum set aside to the end of the term. It lowers your regular repayments now, which suits operators who refresh vehicles every few years — you pay it out, refinance it, or trade in at term end.
How quickly can a vehicle loan be approved?
For a straightforward, asset-backed vehicle loan we can often come back with an indicative answer the same business day, with conditional approval frequently inside 24 hours, and settlement within a few days once documents are in.
