What is a No Doc Loan?

A No Doc Loan is a niche product for borrowers who are asset-rich but either unwilling or unable to provide any form of income documentation. These are the most flexible — but also the most expensive and limited commercial finance options.

Lenders rely heavily on security, equity, and borrower credit profile, as there is no income verification provided.
