Can I get a home loan if I’m self-employed?

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

Our approach

We assess your position like a credit team would, anticipating any concerns. We achieve this by understanding your business first.

That means:

  • Interpreting your financials through a lender lens

  • Aligning your application to the right lender policy

  • Explaining your business clearly and commercially

The outcome

A loan that reflects your real income position, not just what’s on paper.
