Are you self employed & have fluctuating income or tax returns not up to date or had a loan application declined by your bank? We can help get your loan approved.
You're in the right place for a low-doc home loan
Low doc home loans, as the name suggests, are loans that require less income documentation for the approval process. These loans allow business owners to self-declare your income without having to provide tax returns. It is a common misconception with low doc home loans that you have to provide little or no documentation. Low doc refers to the income side of an application with all the other requirements for documentation being the same as a full doc loan such as saving statements and ID documents. Of all Australians, 14% are self employed. Running your own business not only means that you have to earn your income, but you also have to look after the books. Not surprisingly looking after the books often comes a second place to working to earn your income. This means that tax returns can often be submitted a little late. Putting together the documentation that a lender requires can be quite overwhelming for people with complicated finances or fluctuating income like business owners; low doc loans eliminate this burden and provide a simpler solution.
Specialist mortgage brokers for business owners.
A major factor in the success of any loan application for the self employed is having an experienced broker who specialises in business finances. We can provide you with a self employed specialist mortgage broker who understands the many complexities of company finances as well as the lending criteria and flexibilty of the lenders. Your broker will ascertain if you require a standard or a low doc home home and work with you, your accountant and the lender to get the right home loan for you.
Low-doc loans are ideal for the following scenarios
  • Self employed for a minimum of 6 months
  • Tax returns and financials are not up to date
  • Have a fluctuating income
  • Prefer the convenience of providing an income declaration rather than 2 years of tax returns and financials
  • Have had a home loan declined by their bank
A self-employed borrower would need to provide proof of income using a combination the following
  • Proof of ABN and/or GST registration
  • Business activity statements (BAS)
  • Business account transaction statements
  • Accountant’s letter
  • Business & personal tax returns

Usually, the only documentation you need to provide for a low doc home loan is a Borrower Certificate of Income Declaration Form signed off by your accountant. In some instances the provision of the last 4 quarters BAS statements is a requirement. Low doc loans are not suitable for everyone, with potentially higher fees and charges, but they are an essential product for many people, especially business owners, providing finance that may otherwise be impossible. As with any loan product, it is imperative that you are aware of all the terms and conditions so the decision you make is an informed one. You need to ensure you consider all your options to get the lender and the loan that best suits your needs.
