Self-Employed Does Not Mean Unfinanceable

Self-employed borrowers often face more scrutiny than salaried applicants. Lenders cannot simply look at a payslip so they dig deeper into your financials. This can feel overwhelming, especially if you have already been knocked back by a bank.
At Bang On Investments, we specialise in self-employed home loans. We understand the difference between low doc, full doc and alt doc lending and we know which lenders are most flexible for different income structures. Whether you are a sole trader, company director, contractor or run a trust, we have helped borrowers in your situation before.
Under the ATO’s definition, you are self-employed if you operate as a sole trader, in a partnership, or as a director of your own company. Lenders treat each structure differently. Sole traders typically need to show two years of personal tax returns, while company directors may need to demonstrate their business income separately. We understand these distinctions and know which lenders assess each structure most favourably.
We work with self-employed clients across Sydney including Chatswood, Strathfield, Burwood, Concord, North Sydney, Bowral and the Southern Highlands.

Loan Types

Self-Employed Loan Options We Work With

Full Doc Loans
If your business has been operating for two or more years and you have current tax returns and financial statements, a full doc loan typically offers the best rates. We help you present these documents in the strongest possible way. Many self-employed clients qualify for better terms than they expect.
Low Doc Loans
For borrowers who cannot provide standard income documentation, low doc loans use alternative evidence including 12 months BAS statements, an accountant’s letter or business bank statements. We work with lenders who offer competitive low doc products for self-employed borrowers.
Alt Doc and Specialist Lending
For borrowers with complex income structures such as multiple companies, trusts or fluctuating income, specialist and non-bank lenders can offer more flexible assessment criteria. We know which lenders work best for complex self-employed situations.

Self-Employed Home Loan FAQs

Most full doc lenders require two years of self-employment history. However, some low doc and specialist lenders will consider borrowers with as little as 12 months of trading history, provided you can show consistent income and a registered ABN. We will assess your situation and identify the right lender for you.

For full doc loans: two years of tax returns and financial statements. For low doc loans: 12 months BAS statements, an accountant’s letter or three to six months of business bank statements. We will tell you exactly what is needed for your situation upfront.

Yes. Lenders assess self-employed income differently. Some average your income over two years, others use the most recent year. We know which approach suits your income pattern and which lenders are most likely to give you the best outcome.

Absolutely. Self-employed borrowers can access investment loans on similar terms to employed borrowers. It is about how you structure and present the application. We have helped many self-employed clients across Sydney build investment portfolios.

Low doc loans can sometimes carry slightly higher rates than full doc products, but this is not always the case as the market has become more competitive. We will show you the full picture so you can make an informed decision. If you are in a position to refinance to a full doc product later, we can help with that too.
