๐ Low Doc Loans for Tow Truck Operators Expanding Their Fleet
Running a towing business means staying ready around the clock โ but expanding your fleet gets tricky when lenders demand tax returns, BAS, or accountant-prepared financials.
If youโre self-employed, recently started, or just donโt have your books in order, low doc finance is designed for you.
๐ก What Is a Low Doc Truck Loan?
A low doc loan is a commercial vehicle finance product that requires minimal documentation โ typically no tax returns or BAS.
Instead, lenders look at:
- โ An active ABN
- โ Bank statements (usually 3โ6 months)
- โ A vehicle quote or invoice
- โ Your intended business use
This makes it ideal for:
- โ๏ธ Owner-operators with new or small tow truck businesses
- โ๏ธ Subcontractors working for insurers, smash repairers, or roadside networks
- โ๏ธ Operators without access to full financials or an accountant
๐จ What Can You Finance?
Tow truck operators can finance:
- ๐ง Tilt tray trucks
- ๐ช Hook-and-chain setups
- ๐ป Light-duty recovery vehicles
- ๐จ Commercial utes or trailers for vehicle transport

๐งพ Real-World Example
โSeanโ operates a 2-truck tow business in Western Sydney.
He landed a contract with a nearby smash repairer and needed a third tilt tray ASAP โ but didnโt have last yearโs tax return yet. With an ABN, quote, and 6 months of strong bank activity, he secured a $52,000 low doc loan in under 72 hours.
๐ง Why Low Doc Works for Tow Truck Businesses
- โ Income is often job-based or seasonal โ not always tidy on paper
- โ Many owner-operators are on the tools, not managing paperwork
- โ Banks rarely approve truck loans without full docs โ specialist lenders will
๐ What Youโll Need to Apply
- โ๏ธ ABN (active for at least 6 months preferred)
- โ๏ธ Driverโs licence
- โ๏ธ Quote for the truck
- โ๏ธ 3โ6 months of business bank statements
- โ No tax return or BAS required for most low doc applications
