Knowing which documents to prepare can make your light truck finance move faster. Overdrive compares 80+ lenders, and the paperwork required ranges from very light to more detailed depending on the lender and loan size.
What documents do you need for light truck finance?
At a minimum, expect to provide your ABN details, identification such as a driver's licence, and details of the light truck you are buying, including a quote or invoice. If you are GST registered, that is worth noting too. For many eligible applicants with a straightforward deal, this is close to all that is needed under low-doc arrangements.
When do lenders ask for more documents?
Larger amounts, newer ABNs or more complex situations can prompt a lender to ask for bank statements, business financials or tax returns. This is standard for a full assessment and helps the lender confirm your capacity to repay, subject to lender criteria. Having recent statements on hand speeds things up.
How does a broker match your documents?
Rather than gathering documents for one lender and hoping it fits, Simon reviews your position and matches you to lenders whose requirements suit what you can readily supply. Your accountant or registered tax adviser can help with any financial statements. One tidy submission often means a quicker answer.
