FAQs

What is an Alt Doc loan?

An Alt Doc loan is a type of loan that allows self-employed borrowers to use alternative documentation to verify their income.
The terms ‘Alt Doc’ and ‘Low Doc’ are sometimes used interchangeably, though ‘Low Doc’ or low documentation may have different interpretations depending on the lender.

What forms of income documentation are acceptable?

At Brighten, we accept one of the following forms of income documentation: an Accountant’s Letter, most recent 6 months Business Activity Statements (BAS), or most recent 3 months business bank statements.

What type of securities are acceptable?

We accept standard commercial securities and residential securities in Cat 1 and Cat 2 locations. Specialised securities may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

What is the maximum loan term?

We offer loans with terms of up to 30 years.

Do you do require an annual review?

No, we do not require annual reviews. Once you settle with Brighten, you can relax and leave the rest to us.

What are the requirement for the business?

We require the ABN to be active for at least 24 months, and GST registration for no less than 12 months if the turnover exceeds $75,000.
