📦 Low Doc Loans for Independent Courier Drivers
Whether you're contracting to Australia Post, Amazon, Uber, or running your own freight route, courier work depends on your wheels. But if you’re operating under an ABN and haven’t completed your tax return or BAS, banks will likely turn you away.
That’s where low doc vehicle loans step in — built for gig workers, subcontractors, and small transport operators who are earning but don’t have all the paperwork.
💡 What Is a Low Doc Loan for Couriers?
Low doc loans are for self-employed Australians who don’t have full financials ready — but are actively earning under an ABN.
Rather than needing tax returns or a profit & loss statement, lenders assess:
- ✅ ABN (6+ months preferred)
- ✅ Bank statements (3–6 months)
- ✅ Vehicle or equipment quote
- ✅ Confirmation the asset is for business use
This makes them ideal for:
- 🚚 Owner-driver couriers
- 📮 Contractors working for national delivery networks
- 🧾 Drivers new to ABN work
- 🛻 Subcontractors scaling from 1 to 2+ vehicles

She wanted to finance a new van for her growing route, but didn’t have a tax return yet. With her ABN, a van quote, and 5 months of consistent income on her bank statements, she secured low doc finance with no delay.
