Three agencies. Six payers. No payslip. A locum GP applies for a home loan and the bank assessor stops at the income page. A One Doc home loan is built for exactly this profile — current AHPRA registration, an accountant declaration, and ABN-held income that adds up.

Imaging gear is the easiest medical asset to finance — and the most over-priced. Here is the lender view in 2026: which imaging classes pass approval cleanly under low doc, which stall, and how clinics structure CBCT scanners, ultrasound and radiology fit-outs without choking serviceability on the rest of the practice.

Lenders do not treat all doctors the same. A registrar, a VR-GP, a fellow and a consultant specialist each get assessed against different income templates — which directly changes the deposit, rate and approval window on a chattel mortgage for clinic equipment, fit-out or vehicles in 2026.

Heavy registrations are down 9.3% YoY and HVNL reform lands mid-2026. Here's how to sequence a truck, trailer and line of credit so each approval makes the next one easier — not harder.

An owner-driver running a discretionary trust does not have to refinance into a sole-trader name to qualify for a One Doc home loan — but the trustee-as-borrower mechanics and distribution income on the accountant's letter need to line up the way the lender expects.

Most owner-drivers ask for a round number when they apply for a working capital line of credit — $50k, $80k, $100k. Lenders don't size it that way. They size it off your fuel burn, your pay cycle, and the gap between them. Here's the formula, recalibrated for the April 2026 fuel excise cut and the current 4.10% cash rate.

"No tax returns" sounds simple. Inside the lender file, the credit officer is reading three other documents in their place — and how they read them decides the rate, the term and whether your truck application clears or stalls.

Most owner-drivers assume a lease is "simpler" — but the BAS-quarter GST claim and the 5-year balloon profile usually push truckies toward a chattel mortgage. Here is the comparison without the brochure language.

Paying cash feels safer — but in the current rate environment it can cost more than financing. This guide breaks down the real maths behind the finance-vs-cash decision for Australian business owners buying equipment, vehicles and fitouts before the $20k write-off deadline.

Most One Doc lenders can assess income from more than one source — but the way those streams are documented, structured, and aggregated on your accountant's letter determines whether the application moves forward or stalls at credit.
