🧼 Low Doc Loans for Mobile Car Detailers and Auto Cleaners
Running a mobile detailing business means showing up with everything — polishers, vacs, pressure washers — ready to go. But when you need to invest in a van, trailer or new gear, banks often ask for tax returns you don’t have ready yet.
Low doc loans help mobile auto detailers access finance without needing full financial paperwork.
💡 What Is a Low Doc Loan for Car Detailing Businesses?
Low doc loans are for sole traders and ABN holders who are actively earning but haven’t yet lodged:
- ❌ Tax returns
- ❌ BAS statements
- ❌ Profit & loss reports
Instead, lenders usually accept:
- ✅ ABN (6+ months preferred)
- ✅ 3–6 months of business bank statements
- ✅ A supplier quote or invoice
- ✅ Confirmation that it’s for business use
Ideal for:
- 🚗 Mobile car detailers
- 🧽 Vehicle cleaning and polishing services
- 🧾 Part-time operators turning full-time
- 🛻 Tradespeople upgrading from basic gear or a borrowed ute
