Self Employed Mortgage

Our Services – Self-Employed Mortgage

Being your own boss shouldn’t make homeownership harder—but for many self-employed Canadians, proving income is the biggest hurdle in getting a mortgage.

At Anton Mortgage, we specialize in helping business owners, freelancers, and independent professionals secure competitive financing—even if your income doesn’t fit the standard mold.

What is a Self-Employed Mortgage?

A self-employed mortgage is a home loan tailored for borrowers whose income isn’t salaried or consistent on paper. That includes:

• Sole proprietors

• Incorporated business owners

• Freelancers and contractors

• Gig economy workers

Traditional lenders may struggle to assess your income. We help bridge that gap with lenders who understand your real financial picture.

Key Benefits of Self-Employed Mortgage Solutions

Flexible Income Verification:
Use Notice of Assessments, business financials, or bank statements to qualify.

Access to Stated-Income Programs:
Some lenders accept a reasonable estimate of your income based on profession, industry, and cash flow—no traditional documents required.

Expanded Lender Network:
We work with both A-lenders (banks) and B-lenders (alternative lenders) to match your risk profile, tax strategy, and documentation.

Strategic Structuring:
Minimize taxes and qualify for a mortgage—without sacrificing one for the other.

Common Questions About Self-Employed Mortgages

What documents do I need to apply?
Depending on your situation and lender type, you may need:

• 2 years of NOAs and T1 Generals

• Business financials or accountant-prepared statements

• 6–12 months of business/personal bank statements

• Proof of business registration or incorporation

We help you package your income story in the most lender-friendly way.

Will my tax deductions hurt my approval chances?
Possibly. Many self-employed individuals write off expenses to reduce taxable income—which can make them appear less qualified. We work with lenders who understand this and look at gross income or cash flow instead.

Can I qualify with less than two years in business?
Some lenders require a full two-year history. Others allow shorter timeframes if you’re in the same field or have strong cash flow. We help assess and position your file accordingly.

Are rates higher for self-employed borrowers?
Not always. If your income can be verified traditionally, you may qualify for the same rates as salaried employees. If not, alternative lenders may charge slightly higher rates—often offset by faster approval and more flexible terms.
