Introduction
Healthcare and medical businesses depend on specialised equipment, trained staff, and modern facilities to provide top-quality care. But upgrading or expanding often demands significant funding, and many providers face barriers if they lack formal tax returns.
Thatโs where low doc loans help โ offering flexible funding using alternative documentation.

-
โ Applicants providing alternative income proof (bank statements, BAS, accountantโs letter)

โ Borrowers with a deposit (usually 10โ30%)
