Not every operator has current financial statements on hand when it's time to buy a coach. Overdrive helps eligible ABN-holders compare a panel of 80+ lenders that may proceed without a full set of financials.
Can you finance a coach without financials?
Some lenders offer low-doc arrangements that rely on your ABN, GST registration, credit history and asset position rather than complete financial statements. This can suit operators whose accounts aren't finalised or who prefer a streamlined application, provided other criteria are met.
What can replace financials?
In place of full financials, an asset base, property ownership, a solid deposit or a trade-in can help demonstrate strength. Evidence of contract income such as charter or school work also supports serviceability. The mix a lender accepts varies, which is why comparing the panel matters.
What terms apply without financials?
Facilities arranged without full financials may carry different terms or pricing, so it's worth reviewing the options side by side. How your record-keeping, GST and depreciation are handled should be confirmed with your accountant or registered tax adviser.
