Introduction

Buying a home as self-employed can be complicated. Many lenders do not consider variable income. However, the Profit & Loss Loan offers an alternative. This loan allows your actual income, reflected on your profit and loss statement, to be the basis for your credit score.

This approach is especially useful if your taxes do not reflect all of your income. It allows freelancers and business owners to demonstrate their ability to pay more realistically.

How does the Profit & Loss Loan work?

The process is relatively simple. Lenders review your profit and loss statement to evaluate your actual income. Next, your financial history is considered and it is determined if you qualify for the loan.

Main requirements

Updated profit and loss statement.

A good credit history.

Documentation that proves your income.

It is important to remember that rates may be higher compared to conventional loans. This is due to the greater risk lenders take when lending to people with variable incomes.
