What Is a Low Doc Loan?
A low documentation loan is designed for borrowers who can’t access the usual financial paperwork lenders demand. Instead of tax returns, profit and loss statements and balance sheets, you can verify your ability to repay with bank statements, ABN history or an accountant’s letter.
If you run your own business, subcontract for multiple clients or are hoping to get into the transport sector, this type of loan makes finance faster, simpler and far less stressful.
Who Benefits Most from a Low Doc Prime Mover Loan
This loan structure isn’t for everyone, but for many operators, it’s exactly what’s needed to keep the wheels turning. Low doc loans make sense if you are:
Self-employed and don’t have recent tax returns available
Expanding your fleet or replacing an old vehicle mid-contract
Starting a new transport business and have a good amount of work already lined up
Working seasonally and need a lender that looks beyond traditional paperwork
In other words, low doc loans suit operators who have a strong business with consistent income, even if they don’t have the full suite of financial statements. It’s a practical solution for hard working Aussies who don’t have the time to be buried in admin.
What You’ll Need to Get a Low Doc Loan
Whilst it may be a simpler way to secure a truck loan, it’s important to remember: low doc doesn’t mean no doc.
Whether you’re after a prime mover or a semi truck, lenders will still want some information to assess risk and set your loan terms. Typically, you’ll need.
ABN and GST registration (usually 12 months or more)
Business bank statements (three to six months)
Driver’s licence and other identification
Vehicle details (make, model, year and price)
Deposit amount
Some lenders will also ask for an accountant’s declaration to confirm your income and trading history.

FAQs
How Much You Can Borrow?
This depends on your credit history, experience in the transport industry and the vehicle itself. For established ABN holders with consistent income, low doc prime mover loans can fund up to 100% of the purchase price. That usually comes with a term of two to seven years.
It can also help to have a strong repayment record with previous equipment or truck loans.
What are Secured and Unsecured Options?
Most prime mover and truck loans are secured, meaning the vehicle itself is used as collateral. This is what keeps rates competitive and reduces risk for all parties.
An unsecured truck loan is possible, but will likely come with higher interest rates and shorter terms. As a general rule, if the vehicle has strong resale value and is under 10 years old, a secured low doc loan is the way to go.
