Financed as an ABN holder
As a sole trader you’re financed on your ABN, with the truck as security. That keeps the process quick and the rate competitive. Low-doc options mean you may not need full financials for an eligible, asset-backed deal.
What lenders look for
An established, GST-registered ABN and a clean recent credit record put you in a strong position. A deposit or property ownership can sharpen the rate further, but plenty of sole traders finance with neither.
