Not every business owner has up-to-date tax returns and financial statements ready to go, especially newer or fast-growing operations. The good news is that finance without full financials is possible for many ABN holders. Overdrive helps you find lenders comfortable with a lighter documentation approach.
How does car finance without financials work?
Some lenders offer low-doc products where formal financial statements are not required. Instead, they may rely on your ABN, GST registration, bank statements and credit history to assess eligibility, subject to lender criteria.
Who suits car finance without financials?
This approach can help sole traders, contractors and companies whose financials are not yet finalised, or who prefer a simpler application. A clean credit profile and an established ABN generally strengthen your position with these lenders.
What do you still need without financials?
Even without full financials, expect to provide identification, ABN details and often recent bank statements or a deposit. Requirements differ between lenders, which is why comparing the panel is valuable. For any tax questions, check with your accountant or registered tax adviser.
Overdrive can identify lenders who offer low-doc finance suited to your situation. Ask Simon for an obligation-free quote, a soft check that won't affect your credit score, and see what may be available.
