What Are Self-Employed Loans?
Self-employed loans are designed for individuals whose income isn’t paid through a standard salary—such as sole traders, contractors, freelancers, and small business owners. These loans recognise the unique financial patterns of self-employment and provide options that don’t rely solely on traditional payslips or income verification.
At The Finance Guide, we offer flexible low-doc and full-doc lending solutions that align with the way you work. Our goal is to help you access funding on your terms—without being treated as a high-risk borrower.
Who Are Self-Employed Loans For?
Self-employed borrowers often face extra scrutiny from traditional lenders because their income can fluctuate. At The Finance Guide, we take a more complete view of your financial story—recognising your business as an asset, not a limitation.
- Sole Traders: Seeking a home loan without standard PAYG income slips.
- Freelancers: Managing inconsistent or project-based monthly income.
- Business Owners: Looking to secure personal or business-related lending.
- Contractors & Self-Starters: Planning their next financial step with flexible loan options.
