Self-Employed
It’s not harder. It’s just assessed differently.
Most self-employed applications fail at presentation, not income.
Lenders aren’t just asking “how much you earn?”
They’re asking:
Is this income stable?
Is it repeatable?
Can it service debt consistently?
What lenders actually look at:
Trends across financial years, not just the latest result
Potential add-backs like depreciation, one-off expenses or write-offs
Separation between trading income and one-off inflows
Business liquidity and obligations
Where it goes wrong
Financials don’t tell the full story
Income is presented in a way lenders won’t accept
Wrong lender chosen for the scenario
