How self-employed income can be assessed

Lenders usually look for evidence that income is sustainable. They may review recent accounts, tax calculations, tax year overviews, business and personal bank statements, committed expenditure and credit history.

Why the income figure can differ

A sole trader may be assessed on net profit, a company director may be assessed on salary and dividends, and a contractor may be assessed using contract income. Some lenders take an average, some use the latest year and some may take a more cautious view where income has reduced.

Next step

Request a callback if you want an adviser or broker partner to review your figures and explain what documents may be needed before any application.
