A low doc loan or low documentation loan is a flexible solution for the self-employed. It is designed for borrowers who have income and assets but are unable to provide financial statements or tax returns as evidence of their income.
Low doc loans rely on a self-verification method whereby you state your income on an income declaration form without the lender verifying your income using documents.
This means applicants do not need to provide any proof of their income. However, the banks will complete their normal credit assessment and will check that you can afford the loan using the income you have declared.
