Self-Employed and Unsure Where to Start With a Home Loan?

Clear guidance for self-employed Australians — understand what lenders look for, prepare properly, and get introduced to a trusted, accredited mortgage broker when you’re ready.

Getting a home loan when you’re self-employed is different

And most people find that out the hard way.

If you run your own business, you’ve probably experienced:

Conflicting information about what income counts

Different rules at different lenders

Requests for endless documents

Uncertainty about whether you’re “ready” to apply

Fear of getting knocked back and hurting your chances

The problem isn’t you — it’s that self-employed lending works differently.

Here’s how I help

 I don’t provide credit advice or recommend loan products.

Instead, I help you understand the process, get organised, and connect with the right professional at the right time.
