Can you get van finance with a new ABN?

Many lenders prefer a longer trading history, but not all. Some consider applicants with a fresh ABN, particularly where the applicant has industry experience, a property or a reasonable deposit. The right lender match matters more than the ABN age alone, and that is where comparing a wide panel helps.

What strengthens a new-ABN van application?

Supporting factors can improve your position: GST registration where relevant, a clean credit history, evidence of prior experience in your trade, and a deposit. Having your identification and any available business documents ready keeps things moving. Eligible applicants may still access competitive terms subject to lender criteria.

Are low-doc options available for new ABNs?

Where full financials aren't available yet, some lenders offer low-doc options that rely on other evidence rather than years of tax returns. These are assessed case by case. Any GST or tax questions on the van should go to your accountant or registered tax adviser.
