How do I get a loan if I’m self-employed?
RedZed is a specialist lender that provides loans for self-employed borrowers. Because the big banks and other lenders tend to have very specific documentation requirements, it can be very difficult for self-employed borrowers to get a loan through these lenders.
RedZed has different documentation requirements, also known as ‘Alt Doc’, which take into account each self-employed borrowers particular financial circumstances, including their income and assets.
Why should I apply for an Alt Doc loan?
It’s common for self-employed to be unable to meet the documentation requirements of standard loans offered by the big banks and other lenders. This is because these loans primarily target PAYG workers, who are typically able to provide the documentation required.
Self-employed borrowers have specific financial circumstances with specific documentation, which very often necessitates the need for an Alt Doc loan.
