Low Doc Personal Loan FAQs
-
For self-employed individuals or small businesses who have a reduced amount of documentation available, securing a commercial loan can be daunting. However, low doc commercial loans may provide a good solution to this problem. For a low doc loan, borrowers will be required to provide their Australian Business Number (ABN), GST registration, proof of Australian citizenship, and evidence that they will be able to repay the loan (this can include a letter from an accountant or any business activity statements).
By using a commercial loan broker when undertaking the process of securing a low doc loan, you will essentially receive a matchmaker between your business and a lender. Commercial loan brokers do the hard work for you by comparing the large range of financing products in the lending market to find the best option for you and your financial circumstances. Brokers take away the burden and stress of searching the market and can help save a borrower time as well as secure a lower interest rate.
