A low-doc car loan is generally your safest bet if you’re self-employed and find yourself searching for “no document” loan options. Make sure you qualify for a loan before you apply to save the headaches and heartache. While the requirements below serve as a guide, applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis, so you may be able to be approved even if you don’t hit all of the marks.
Eligibility
To be eligible for a low doc car loan, you must:
Documentation
You’ll be asked to produce three forms of documents with a low doc car loan. These can include:
Photo ID: You can submit a back and front copy of your current driver’s license or an Australian or foreign-issued passport.
Application: Your consultant takes care of this for you ensuring a fuss-free process.
Consent form: You’ll be required to sign a consent form agreeing to the terms and conditions of the car loan.
Business financials: Your lender may request several business documents such as your BAS, bank statements or a signed declaration of income.
Car value
The value of your car will directly correlate to your borrowing power. Car loans funds can’t be spent elsewhere, so the amount you’re approved for won’t exceed your new vehicle’s value.
What you can afford
When you’re tossing up what vehicle to buy for your work, it’s wise to choose something within your price range. Having a budget and sticking to it will make the payments on your loan manageable. Your consultant will calculate your borrowing power during the application process to ensure you aren’t overextending yourself.
On-road costs
Factor any on-road costs, such as insurance, registration and stamp duty, into your budget. You can roll these costs into your loan amount in some cases if you don’t want to pay them out of your own pocket upfront.
Ongoing maintenance
Cars need regular servicing and care to keep them in tip-top shape. Make sure when you’re budgeting for your new ride you consider the ongoing costs of fuel, regular services and insurance.
You’re more likely to be approved for a car loan if the car you want to buy is in relatively good nick. Because the car acts as security on your loan, having a good-quality vehicle will improve your approval chances.
Making a down payment on your loan is seen as a tell-tale sign of a good borrower. Lenders prefer borrowers who are willing to invest some of their own money when applying for finance for a car. It can also demonstrate to a lender you have strong saving habits.
You’re more likely to be approved for a new loan if you don’t have unresolved debts. Lenders run credit checks on all applicants to assess their risks, so cleaning up your file by clearing unpaid defaults and making on-time payments can make a difference.
The smoother your business’ track record, the better your approval chances. Maintaining a steady revenue, making on-time payments and not defaulting on loans will all help you get the thumbs up for your new car loan.
Credible lenders want to make sure your repayments are manageable and that you won’t find yourself under undue financial stress. That’s why they'll be reluctant to approve you with no paperwork to back up your financial situation. Be wary of lenders who spruik ‘no doc’ car loans. Having no documents increases your risk to a lender so you’ll be paying a much higher interest rate.
No – these loans are commercial only, meaning they’re for people who run businesses or those who are self-employed. They’re not available to borrowers who are looking for a private-use vehicle.
Yes – if you’ve been discharged from your bankruptcy and are looking for a car loan, you can apply. Our lenders focus on what you can afford now, rather than your chequered financial past.
Yes – having a close family member with good credit go guarantor on your loan will improve your odds of approval. Lenders are more willing to loan to you if you have someone guaranteeing to make your repayments in the unlikely event you become unable to.
Yes – you can buy a used car with this type of finance. The car you select can be up to 20 years old at the time of purchase, or 25 years old at the end of your loan’s term. You can also purchase privately or through a dealership.
Yes – you can refinance your loan with your existing or new lender. This should be looked at as a long-term option though, as lenders will want to see you’ve maintained a good payment track record on your loan and improved your credit rating. You may also be charged early exit fees if you refinance, so it’s worth considering whether these charges will negate the benefit of refinancing in the first place.
