Lo Doc Loans (short for low documentation) are loans which require less financial information to be provided to the bank for assessment than standard loan applications.
They are useful for individuals who are self employed and have difficulty in substantiating their income, ie: if they do not have up to date financials completed. Income is substantiated in other ways such as provision of Business Activity Statements (BAS) and/or trading account bank statements, sometimes along with a declaration of income signed by the client or accountant.
