What are the benefits of standard bank finance?

With banks, there’s the added security that comes with an established lender, as well as offering greater loan amounts and, typically, more competitive rates provided all documentation is provided and you have good credit history

What is a low doc private loan?

A low doc private loan is a loan that doesn’t require the amount of paperwork that most banks ask for. Usually, a bank will ask to see tax returns and related financial papers in order to assess how likely it is you’ll make your repayments.

This can often be a barrier for the self-employed. With a low doc private loan, you can get non-bank finance with a less stringent application process

What will I need to provide for low doc private loans?

The primary documents you’ll need to provide are:

1. A business activity statement
2. An accountant’s statement

However, these documentation requirements may include more depending on the details of your loan – call now to receive a more comprehensive self-employed applicant checklist.

Can Hodgestone Finance provide no doc private loans?

“No doc” private loans are a bit of a misnomer in modern financial terminology – a more accurate term would be a “non-conforming” private loan. This describes a loan with less stringent applicant requirements (e.g. less documentation) and is primarily sought through non-bank lenders. The “non-conforming” standards of these loans makes it a great alternative for people with poor credit history or a number of other factors preventing them from more typical finance options.
