Self Employed Loans
Tailored Lending Solutions for Business Owners
Being self-employed comes with freedom and a few extra hoops when applying for a home loan. At Haus of Loans, we specialise in helping business owners, contractors and entrepreneurs access to competitive finance with smart structures that reflect how they actually earn.
If you've ever been told "you don't qualify" by a bank, don’t worry, we may have other lender who you do qualify with.
Why It’s Harder for the Self-Employed
Banks often assess self-employed income conservatively. Even if your business is thriving, things like:
fluctuating income,
reinvested profits, or
smart tax minimisation strategies
These can make it harder to prove serviceability. However, with the right documentation and presentation, you may have more options than you think.
What We Look At
We help you present your income in the best light possible. This may include:
Two years of tax returns and ATO assessments
Business activity statements (BAS)
Business and personal bank statements
Profit and loss statements
Company financials or trust structures
Add-backs for non-cash or one-off expenses
We tailor the approach based on how your income is structured and work with lenders who understand the self-employed world.
Low Doc Loan Options
For those who don’t have full financial documentation, a Low Doc Loan can be the answer. These loans are designed for self-employed borrowers who can demonstrate their income using:
BAS statements
Business bank statements
Accountant declarations
Low Doc Loans offer flexibility while still being structured to meet your financial needs. We’ll guide you through the process, ensuring you meet lender requirements without unnecessary hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need two years of tax returns to apply?
A: Ideally, yes, but some lenders accept one year or alternative documents. We’ll find a solution based on your situation.
Q: I pay myself irregularly will that hurt my chances?
A: Not necessarily. We work with lenders who understand how business owners manage cash flow, and we structure your application accordingly.
Q: Can I borrow as much as a PAYG borrower?
A: With the right setup and documentation, yes. You may even have more borrowing capacity once we factor in add-backs.
Q: What if I’ve just gone out on my own?
A: If you don’t yet meet full-doc requirements, a low doc or specialist loan may be an option until your business history grows.
