Having an ABN that's only a few months old is a common hurdle when you need equipment to keep the work coming. The good news is that an ABN under six months doesn't automatically mean a no. Certain lenders are set up for exactly this situation.
Why is an ABN under 6 months harder?
Many mainstream lenders prefer to see a couple of years of trading, so an ABN under six months narrows the field. However, specialist lenders on the panel assess these applications differently, focusing on your capacity to service the loan rather than trading history alone.
What strengthens a young-ABN deal?
A deposit, strong personal credit, relevant industry experience, and property ownership all help offset the short trading period. Where you've come from a related role or previous business, that background can reassure a lender. These factors are weighed alongside the light truck's age and type, subject to lender criteria.
