What You Need for Pre-Approval

  • ABN and GST registration details
  • Driver's licence
  • 3–6 months of business bank statements
  • Approximate budget and asset type

How Long Does Pre-Approval Last

Pre-approvals through Overdrive Funding are valid for 90 days from issue. If you haven't found the right truck within that period, renewal is straightforward. Pre-approval is conditional — the final approval depends on the specific truck (the lender needs to assess the asset), but for standard truck purchases the transition from pre-approval to formal approval is typically same-day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum ABN age for truck finance?

Most standard lenders require a minimum 2 years of GST registration. Specialist lenders on our panel will consider applications from businesses with 6–12 months of ABN history, particularly with a deposit and clean personal credit.

Can I get truck finance without tax returns?

Yes. Low doc truck finance up to $500,000 is available without tax returns. You need your ABN, driver's licence and 3–6 months of business bank statements.

How long does truck finance approval take?

Low doc applications under $500,000 can receive same-day or next-business-day conditional approval. Full doc applications take 2–3 business days once complete documentation is submitted.

Is there a minimum loan amount for truck finance?

Most lenders start from $20,000 for commercial truck finance. There is no maximum — our panel can facilitate loans from $20,000 to $10m+ depending on your profile and the asset.

Do you charge a fee for truck finance?

No. Overdrive Funding is a free service for borrowers. Our fee is paid by the lender from their commission. You pay no broker fee, application fee or hidden costs.
