Low-doc car loans →What we finance across Tasmania
In Tasmania we help tradies and builders with utes, vans and light trucks, tourism and hospitality businesses with tour vehicles and kitchen equipment, and marine operators with boats, trailers and workshop gear. We also look after self-employed Tasmanians and new ABN holders who've been knocked back by a bank because their tax returns don't yet show their real income. In Launceston, Devonport or Burnie? It's the same process and the same panel of lenders.

Do I need to come into the office?
No. Everything is done by phone, email and e-signature, wherever you are in Tasmania.
Can you finance a vehicle from a dealer or private seller in Hobart?
Yes. The lender pays the dealer or private seller directly once the loan settles. For private sales, the lender checks nothing is owing on the vehicle first.

Often, yes. Several of our lenders offer low-doc car and equipment loans for ABN holders using BAS or bank statements instead of full tax returns. Rates and deposit requirements depend on your situation.
What is a chattel mortgage?
A business loan to buy a vehicle or equipment. You own the asset from the start and the lender holds it as security until the loan is repaid. Speak to your accountant about the tax treatment for your business.
