The Self Employed Loan

Self-employed borrowers are no more or less risky than salaried or W-2’d workers. The main challenge for the self-employed is documenting work history and income. This is the biggest difference between a conventional borrower and a self-employed borrower. How can borrowers document their income and work history?

  • Last 2 years personal and business tax returns
  • Proof of 2 years self-employed by showing either a business license or with a CPA letter
  • Personal and or Business Bank statements
  • Year to date profit and loss report
  • Credit references if needed for business

On a fully documented loan such as this, the lender will consider the “net” income of the individual after deductions. This can be a challenge for some small business owners. Please note – any new business owners (1099) must have a min 2 year history before applying.

Self-employed buyers also have an option to qualify based on their actual business bank deposits.  This is known as a bank statement loan and can be an alternative for those who have challenges documenting income via traditional tax returns. The program is available up to 90% financing.
