Self-Employed Mortgage

Banks penalize self-employed borrowers. Mortgagefy uses flexible income verification so your mortgage doesn't depend on a T4 — 83% of self-employed clients get approved after being declined.

Your Income Is Real. Your Mortgage Should Be Too.

Being self-employed, running a corporation, or working as a contractor should not disqualify you from homeownership or refinancing. Mortgagefy has helped hundreds of business-for-self (BFS) clients across Canada secure mortgages using flexible income verification methods that the major banks simply do not offer.

The Self-Employed Mortgage Challenge

Traditional lenders rely heavily on T4 employment income verified through Notice of Assessment. Self-employed borrowers often write off legitimate business expenses that reduce their declared income on paper — making them appear to earn less than they actually do. We work with lenders who understand this reality.

Income Verification Options We Use

  • Bank statement programs — 12 to 24 months of deposits used to calculate income
  • Stated income — declare income with supporting business documentation
  • Gross revenue qualifying — use business revenue before expenses with select lenders
  • Traditional NOA/T1 General — for BFS clients with sufficient declared income

Who We Help

  • Sole proprietors and incorporated business owners
  • Contractors and freelancers
  • Commissioned sales professionals
  • Gig economy workers with variable income
  • Business owners with 2+ years of self-employment history
  • Recently self-employed with less than 2 years (private lending options available)

Key Benefits

  • Approval possible with as little as 1 year self-employment history
  • No T4 required with alternative income programs
  • Competitive rates available through B-lenders and select A-lenders
  • Available for purchases, refinances, renewals, and HELOCs

83% of our self-employed clients were approved using alternative income verification after being declined by their bank.

Real Results

What Our Clients Say

VERIFIED REVIEW

My accountant does a great job minimizing my taxes, which made my bank decline my mortgage. Mortgagefy used a stated income program and got me approved at a great rate.

VERIFIED REVIEW

Being self-employed for just 1.5 years, most banks would not look at me. Mortgagefy found a B-lender who approved my application based on my bank statements.
