Great question! Most businesses will likely qualify for a low doc loan. However, there are instances where financials may be required for approval. Your broker will guide you through the criteria for each lender, ensuring you understand what’s needed before applying.
What credit score is needed for car finance?

What credit score is needed for car finance?

There is no minimum credit score required! While some of the "tier 1" lenders do have minimum requirements, there are still plenty of lenders available to us that do not have a minimum credit score requirement. 


Your credit score is a reflection of your credit history, including how reliably you’ve repaid previous debts. It provides lenders with a snapshot of your financial behavior, helping them gauge the risk of lending to you. Here’s how your credit score can impact your loan:

  • Interest Rates: A higher credit score can qualify you for lower interest rates, reducing the total cost of the loan.
  • Loan Approval: Lenders may be more willing to approve your loan if you have a strong credit score.
  • Loan Amount: A better credit score might allow you to borrow a larger amount, as lenders have more confidence in your ability to repay.
  • Loan Terms: Borrowers with higher credit scores often have access to more favorable loan terms, such as longer repayment periods or lower fees.


How to Check Your Credit Score 

It's important to regularly check your credit score, especially before applying for any new loans. This will give you an idea of where you stand and whether there are any issues you need to address before applying.


Equifax offers a free credit report once a year, which you can access to review your score and the factors influencing it.

How much can I borrow for a car?

How much can I borrow for a car?    

Before embarking on your asset finance journey, it is crucial for you to have a good understanding of your financial position. This foundational step will not only help you determine what you can afford, but also set you up for a smoother and more confident borrowing experience. By taking the time to thoroughly assess your finances, you'll be better equipped to choose the right loan, avoid overextending yourself and secure the best possible terms


Step 1: Evaluate your Income

Begin by calculating your monthly income. This should include all sources of income, not just your regular salary. Consider the following; 

  • Salary/Wages - Your primary source of income, whether from full-time, part-time or casual employment. Include bonuses and overtime. 
  • Side Income - Any additional side income such as rental income or government assistance like Centrelink payments. 
  • Passive Income - Earnings from investments, dividends or interest

Step 2: Identifying and listing your expenses
Next, you will need to list out your monthly expenses. This step is crucial to understanding where your money goes and how much is left over for loan repayments. 
  • Fixed Expenses:
    • Rent/Mortgage 
    • Personal Loans and Car Loans 
    • Credit Card Repayments 
  • Variable Expenses (Living Expenses)
    • Groceries, entertainment, subscriptions, petrol 
    • Insurances and utilities (electricity and gas)
    • School fees and medical expenses

Step 3: Assess your Debt Load
In addition to your monthly expenses, take note of how much debt you currently have (excluding mortgages). Understanding your total debt loan will help you determine how much additional debt you can reasonably take on without stretching your budget too thin. 
  • Outstanding loan balances: The total amount you owe on personal loans, car loans, buy now pay later etc.
  • Credit Card Debt: The amount you owe on credit cards, including and interest accruing on unpaid balances

Can I pay off my car finance early?

Can I pay off my car loan early?

Yes, you absolutely can pay off your loan early—though it’s important to note that this might come with fees and charges.

It’s a good idea to discuss your plans for early repayment with your broker. While many lenders offer loans with no early termination fees, these loans might not always have the lowest interest rates. However, avoiding early payout fees can save you money in the long run, making it a worthwhile option to consider.


When selecting a lender, it's crucial not to focus solely on "what's the lowest rate." Although a low rate may seem attractive, it's essential to consider the "overall cost" of the loan. For smaller loans, fees can significantly impact the total cost, even more than the interest rate itself.


Keep in mind that commercial lending is different from personal car loans, as it almost always includes early termination fees. This makes it even more important to discuss your repayment intentions with your broker. By doing so, they can structure your loan to align with your needs, potentially reducing your overall costs.

How to get the best car finance deal?

How to get the best car finance deal? 

1. Compare Lenders:

BEFORE YOU START! Be aware that every time you inquire directly with a lender through their website for an interest rate, it can leave a mark on your credit file and potentially lower your credit score—even if you don’t proceed with an application.


This is where brokers have a significant advantage. A broker can check rates from multiple lenders on your behalf without impacting your credit score. However, comparing lenders isn’t just about finding the lowest rate; it’s also about evaluating their fees and features to ensure you’re getting the best overall deal.


At Better Broker Co, our quoting engine allows you to compare offers from up to 30 lenders based on your personal circumstances. You’ll see their rates, fees, and features all in one place. [Click here to compare now!]


2. Improve Your Credit Score:

Your credit score is a reflection of your credit history, including how reliably you’ve repaid previous debts. It provides lenders with a snapshot of your financial behavior, helping them gauge the risk of lending to you. Here’s how your credit score can impact your loan:

  • Interest Rates: A higher credit score can qualify you for lower interest rates, reducing the total cost of the loan.
  • Loan Approval: Lenders may be more willing to approve your loan if you have a strong credit score.
  • Loan Amount: A better credit score might allow you to borrow a larger amount, as lenders have more confidence in your ability to repay.
  • Loan Terms: Borrowers with higher credit scores often have access to more favorable loan terms, such as longer repayment periods or lower fees.

3. Consider a Larger Deposit:

You are not required to place a deposit, however, putting down a large deposit can have several advantages. Firstly, it reduces the amount you need to borrow, which can lower your monthly payments. Secondly, a larger deposit might qualify you for a lower interest rate, as it reduces the lender’s risk. By reducing the overall loan amount and potentially securing a lower rate, you can save money over the life of the loan. This is particularly beneficial if you’re financing a more expensive vehicle, where the savings from a lower rate and smaller loan amount can be substantial.


4. Check the Total Cost:

It’s important to consider the total cost of the loan, not just the monthly payments. A loan with lower monthly payments might seem more affordable, but if it has a longer term or higher interest rate, you could end up paying more in the long run. Additionally, consider any early repayment fees or other charges that could affect the total amount you’ll pay over the life of the loan. By focusing on the overall cost, rather than just the interest rate, you can make a more informed decision that fits your financial goals.
