Mortgages for Self-Employed Individuals

scroll down

If you're self-employed or own a business, your mortgage process may differ. Obtain clear guidance and advice on the optimal mortgage path, accompanied by the best rates.

Discover the mortgage that aligns with your business income.

We provide the lending solutions you need, along with superior rates.

Since you report your income differently from standard mortgage applications, your mortgage needs are naturally distinct. At Axe Mortgage, our salaried, expert brokers can offer lending options through our in-house lender, THINK Financial, that don't require traditional third-party income validation. This type of mortgage typically necessitates a minimum of 35% down payment; however, it can be achieved with as little as 10% down through Sagen’s Business for Self (Alt. A) program.

Additionally, we pass along our volume discount, providing a rate advantage that makes sound business sense. A brief consultation with us could save you thousands, and our streamlined process will save you time and stress.

Don't just take our word for it; our clients have the final (positive) say on our unparalleled service, granting us the most 5-star reviews in the mortgage industry.

Features of Sagen's Alt. A Program to assist in securing your mortgage financing:

  • Available for both purchases and refinances
  • Financing up to 90% on purchases
  • Competitive mortgage rates apply
  • Insurance premiums are slightly higher than standard premiums
Criteria considered (evaluated on a case-by-case basis):
  • Excellent credit
  • Minimum of 2 years of self-employment
  • Stated income must be reasonable
  • At least 5% of your down payment must come from your own resources
  • Proof of no outstanding income taxes
  • Additional requirements may apply

A larger down payment offers greater flexibility

In such cases, lenders can provide more flexibility when assessing factors like your income source, duration of self-employment, and credit score.
