Self-employed and struggling to get a home loan approved?

Most lenders don't assess business income correctly.
Some will use 50–80% of your income. Others ignore key add-backs entirely.

Why self-employed borrowers get declined

Most lenders are built for PAYG income.
If you’re self-employed, your application is assessed differently — and often incorrectly.

This typically results in:

Borrowing capacity being reduced unnecessarily

Income being discounted (sometimes heavily)

Strong applications being declined

One lender may say nothe right one says yes.

Our approach:

Structuring your income based on policy

Identifying lenders who accept your scenario

Positioning your application correctly

Declined for a home loan?

For borrowers whose income doesn’t fit standard lender models

Most lenders are set up for simple PAYG income.
We specialise in scenarios that require a more structured approach.

01 Who we work with

We specialise in borrowers whose income doesn’t fit standard lender models — and is often misunderstood or incorrectly assessed.

Self-employed borrowers (sole traders, ABN, contractors)
Company and trust structures
Complex income (add-backs, commissions, bonuses)

Assessment Focus

Lenders often default to conservative assessments for these profiles. We provide the context and structure they need to see the full financial picture — often increasing borrowing capacity significantly.

02 Our approach

A decline is a data point — not a final outcome.

We assess your situation through the lens of lender policy — not assumptions.

Policy alignment

We identify lenders whose criteria align with your specific scenario — including self-employed income, add-backs, and shorter trading histories.

Income structuring

We present your income in line with lender requirements, ensuring all eligible income is properly recognised and assessed.

Execution

Once structured correctly, we manage the application through to approval and settlement — with a clear, considered approach at each stage.

Powered by Ai, we assess your situation against lender policy and structure your application to match the right lender from the outset.

Been declined by a major bank?
One lender may say no — the right one says yes.
