How It Works (Takes 2 Minutes)
1. The Self-Employed Lending Landscape in Sydney
Sydney is home to over 350,000 small-to-medium enterprises, trade contractors, consultants, and corporate directors. Under standard APRA Prudential Standard APS 220 regulations, major retail banks demand two consecutive years of fully lodged individual and company tax returns, financial balance sheets, and profit-and-loss statements.
For business owners reinvesting profits, writing off legitimate vehicle/equipment depreciation, or holding pending tax returns with their accountants, standard bank servicing models fail. Alt-Doc (Alternative Documentation) lending solves this by verifying trading cash flow directly from primary accounting records.

2. Understanding BAS, Accountant Letters & 1-Day ABN Policies
Alt-Doc loans in Australia are fully regulated credit contracts bound by the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (NCCP). Lenders assess serviceability through three primary methods:
- BAS Method: The lender averages your last 2 to 4 quarterly BAS turnover figures, applying an industry expense ratio (typically 40%–60%) to establish net income.
- Accountant Declaration: Your certified CPA, CA, or IPA signs a standardized declaration confirming your business net taxable income and financial stability.
- 1-Day ABN Policy: Contractors transitioning from PAYG employment to an ABN within the same trade qualify for Alt-Doc finance immediately without waiting for 2 years of ABN history.
