Self-employed individuals seeking mortgage financing can benefit from low rates and excellent options tailored specifically to their unique financial situations. Even those who have faced previous mortgage declines can experience fast approval processes designed to accommodate the complexities of self-employment income.

Mortgage options for the self-employed take into account the often reduced taxable income resulting from claimed business expenses. One such solution, the Stated Income mortgage, proves particularly useful for borrowers whose qualifying income is impacted by these expenses. Additionally, lenders accept dividend and investment income, provided there is stability and sufficient proof of such earnings.

To apply, borrowers must provide key documents including the Notice of Assessment, T1 Tax Statement, proof of principal ownership in the business, contracts or financial statements, and a copy of the Articles of Incorporation or business license. This documentation helps ensure the accuracy and legitimacy of the income being reported.

Applicants also gain access to top Canadian lenders, such as major banks, mortgage finance companies, credit unions, and alternative financing sources that accept reasonable income estimates. Specialized mortgage options tailored for Business For Self (BFS) borrowers are also available. If you are self-employed and looking for mortgage solutions, feel free to give me a call!
