Commercial Full Doc Loan

A commercial loan is a mortgage secured by commercial, retail, or industrial property. When looking at a commercial full doc loan, you will be looking at a loan facility secured by commercial property supported by verifiable income documents like:

• Tax returns
• Profit and loss statements
• Balance sheets
• Assessment notices
• Payslips
• Group certificates

When a lender assesses your affordability position with any of the above supporting income documents, the process is then called a ‘fully documented and supported assessment’. Hence the term ‘full doc loan.’

Commercial full doc loans are fully verified loans assessed using the most current financial and income statements available at the time of application. Commercial Full Doc Loans are the primary commercial loan type found with most commercial lenders in Australia.
