Why Trade Income Needs the Right Lender
PAYG employed tradies are generally the most straightforward to assess, since lenders can rely on an ongoing wage.
Subcontractors and sole traders are assessed differently, often using tax returns, BAS or accountant declarations depending on the lender.
Andy looks at your whole position to find a lender whose policy fits how you actually work.
