Why Self Employed Loans Can Be Complex
Traditional lenders often focus on long-term PAYE history, which can make securing self employed loans difficult if your business is new or your income fluctuates. We look at the story behind the numbers:
- The 2-Year Tradie Rule: We know how to package your application so banks see your true earning potential.
- Alternative Documentation: Using GST returns or P&L statements when full accounts aren’t ready.
