For most business asset finance, yes. Lenders generally look for an ABN that is registered for GST.
The enquiry checks your GST status against the Australian Business Register. If you're not registered yet, send the enquiry anyway and I'll tell you plainly what options there are.

Not always. Low-doc asset finance is commonly assessed on BAS statements and business bank statements instead of full tax returns.
Larger loans, some asset types and some lenders will still ask for financials. I'll tell you on the first call exactly which documents your deal needs.
Enquiries start from any amount, but asset finance is usually best value from around $10,000 upwards.
Below that, a dedicated asset loan often isn't the cheapest way to buy, and I'll say so honestly if something else suits you better.
Conditional approval typically comes back in 24–48 hours once I have what the lender needs, and many deals settle within 3–7 days.
The biggest variables are how quickly documents come back, the supplier's paperwork and, for private sales, the PPSR check and inspection.
