Low doc finance can be an ideal solution for businesses that have encountered issues with lending through a bank. Hodgestone Finance has helped many such businesses with our low doc loans, including a successful ACT-based builder that faced problems with their bank, despite having been a loyal client of the bank for over 15 years.
Recent regulatory changes regarding investment lending meant that the client’s annual review with their bank was unsuccessful, forcing them to suddenly refinance approximately 30 properties that they had originally financed through the bank.
Hodgestone Finance was able to assist when the client was suddenly left without reliable financing. By using eight different low doc lenders from around the country, Hodgestone Finance enabled the client to exit the bank and gain a total of $25,000,000 in loans.
Thanks to the variety of low doc financing options available through Hodgestone Finance, the client was able to continue trading, avoided being put into receivership and retained their impressive property portfolio that they had spent years building.
Low doc loans are loans taken out by borrowers without the requisite documentation for standard or ‘full doc’ loans. These documents include tax returns, financial statements and any other proof of income documents, and it’s often banks that utilise these stringent document requirements.
If you’re missing these items, you can simply provide us with a Business Activity Statement and an accountant’s statement, and we can begin the process to securing a low doc loan. For a more comprehensive checklist for self-employed applicants, call Hodgestone Finance.
Low doc loans are the best, and often only option available for a number of people, including:
No doc lending is a bit of a misnomer in the modern finance market – a better term would be a “non-conforming” applicant loan.
This is a loan option to people who do not conform to the stringent requirements set by most banks – opening up finance options for people with ABN’s under two years, developer without a 100% debt coverage in pre-sales and anyone with a poor credit history. These loans usually come from non-bank alternatives and private lenders.
A low / no doc lending broker is a person or company who brokers – that is, negotiates and locks down – a non-conforming or low doc loan on your behalf. Hodgestone Finance is one such example. We have established relationships with banks and private lenders across Australia, and offer competitive no and low doc loans for our clients.
There are many benefits to utilising the services of a broker, including:
Private low doc lenders are non-bank finance options for people lacking full income documentation. Most banks require full documentation with many of their loans, and looking outside banks to private lenders, investors and financial experts can yield competitive results
If you’re a sole trader or lacking a regular PAYG income, private low doc lenders might be the option for you. Call today to speak to Hodgestone Finance – we work with a wide network of private lenders, and can find a great loan agreement for you without the need for tax returns & other documentation.
Having a clear understanding of your needs, with as specific a breakdown of where the funding will go, will help a lending specialist like Hodgestone Finance identify the best options to link you with.

Before you jump into a low doc arrangement, particularly for fast turn-around property investment loans, it’s worth thinking about getting:

Low doc property loans are a form of real estate finance specifically for people unable to provide full documentation of their income history, including:
To get this particular type of loan, you’ll need statements from your accountant and business activity statements.
