If you're a sole trader or ABN holder on the Gold Coast or in South East Queensland, a few credit blips shouldn't shut you out of finance. The reality is that many lenders look beyond the credit score, especially when the loan is secured against an asset that holds value.
That's where flexible credit ABN loans come in.
At Millard Financial, we work with specialist lenders who understand that small business credit profiles aren't always perfect, and we know how to structure deals that get approved.
Technically, most lenders still run a credit check. What "no credit check" really means in practice is finance from lenders who look at the full picture rather than rejecting applications on a credit score alone.
These lenders weigh other signals more heavily, such as the value of the asset being financed, the cashflow of the business, and how long you've held your ABN. That means even with defaults, late payments or a low credit score, finance is often still possible.
If the loan is secured against a vehicle, truck, or piece of equipment, the asset itself becomes collateral. Strong asset value means less risk for the lender.
Recent bank statements showing consistent income, even modest, can outweigh past credit issues. Three to six months of healthy trading goes a long way.
An ABN that's been active for 12 months or more opens up more lender options than a brand-new ABN. That said, day-one ABN finance is also available through specialist lenders.
Putting down a deposit, or trading in an existing asset, reduces lender risk and improves approval odds significantly.
Will a default automatically disqualify me? No. Many lenders accept applications with defaults, especially if the default is paid, more than 12 months old, or relates to a small amount.
How long does approval take? Specialist lenders often turn around decisions within 24 to 48 hours, sometimes faster.
Do I need a deposit? Not always. Some lenders offer 100% finance to ABN holders with strong cashflow or a valuable asset. Others require 10 to 20% down.
