Self-Employed & Complex Income Loans

Experience the Strawberry Finance difference:

Business Owners Deserve Lending That Reflects Real Income

Banks often misinterpret self-employed income, leading to unnecessary declines or reduced borrowing limits. We review your financials in detail to present your true earnings, maximise your borrowing power and match you with lenders who understand complex structures.

Whether you are a sole trader, contractor or running multiple companies, we ensure your hard work counts towards your lending goals.

HOW WE HELP BUSINESS OWNERS?

Detailed Financial Analysis

We review your tax returns, BAS, and profit patterns to identify "add-backs" and true income that automated bank systems miss.

Income Presentation

We prepare lender-ready summaries that clearly explain your business performance, turning complex financials into a simple approval case.

Complex Structure Expert

We match your specific setup - whether trusts, partnerships or multiple entities - to lenders who are comfortable with those structures.

Low-Doc & Alt-Doc

If your tax returns are not ready, we can access lenders who accept BAS statements, accountant letters or bank statements as proof of income.

HAVE QUESTION?

Frequently Asked Questions

Self-employed lending is notorious for being difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. From tax returns to trading history, the rules vary wildly between banks.

We believe in total transparency. Here are the answers to the questions we hear most often from business owners to help you move forward with clarity.

With the right lending strategy, self-employed borrowers can often access more options than they realise, including solutions tailored to complex income structures and evolving business performance.

Understanding lender policy differences early can improve approval confidence, reduce delays, and help you secure a loan structure that supports both personal and business growth.

Yes. We have access to “Low-Doc” and “Alt-Doc” lenders who can verify your income using alternative methods, such as Business Activity Statements (BAS), accountant letters, or business bank statements, rather than waiting for finalised tax returns.

Absolutely. We analyse your financials to identify “add-backs”—non-cash deductions like depreciation or one-off expenses—that banks often miss. This ensures your servicing calculation reflects your true trading profit, maximising your borrowing power.

No. We specialise in complex structures. We know which lenders understand Family Trusts, Partnerships, and multi-entity setups, ensuring they assess your distributable income correctly rather than declining you based on a misunderstanding of your structure.

While major banks often require 2 years of history, many of our specialist lenders will consider applications with as little as 1 year of ABN registration (or even less), provided you have strong experience in your industry.

Yes. Self-employed borrowers can refinance, but lenders may assess income differently. Depending on your situation, tax returns, BAS, accountant letters, or business bank statements may be used to verify income.

Possibly. Some lenders may consider applicants with a shorter trading history if the business is stable and income can be supported with suitable documents. Eligibility depends on the lender, industry, and overall financial position.
