How We Help

Lenders Who Understand
Self-Employed Income

Sole trader, company, trust or partnership, every business structure is different. We pick lenders that look at your situation properly.

  • Low-Doc & Alt-Doc Options

    Don't have two years of tax returns? We have lenders who accept BAS statements, accountant declarations or business bank statements.

  • Recent Self-Employment

    If you've recently gone out on your own, we have lenders who'll consider as little as 6–12 months trading, not the standard 2 years.

  • Company & Trust Structures

    We're across complex structures, trusts, companies, related-party leases. We'll match you to a lender who reads them properly.

  • Add-Backs & Deductions

    We know how to argue for the right add-backs to your serviceable income, depreciation, one-off expenses, retained earnings.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

In some cases yes. We have lenders that will consider 6–12 months trading if your prior employment was in the same field, or your business shows strong income. We'll tell you upfront which lenders are realistic.

Not always. Many lenders accept BAS statements, accountant declarations or business bank statements as evidence of income. We'll match the right lender to the documentation you actually have.

Lenders look at your taxable income, but as a business owner you may have legitimate deductions (depreciation, one-off expenses, super contributions) that don't reflect cash flow. Add-backs lift your serviceable income to a more accurate figure.

Most major lenders can lend to company and trust borrowers, but the way they assess income varies. We'll guide you to a lender that handles your structure cleanly.
