Get the Mortgage You Deserve as a Self-Employed Business Owner in British Columbia

Securing a self-employed mortgage in British Columbia (BC) can be challenging, but it’s far from impossible. With over 16 years of experience as both a business owner and a mortgage broker, I understand the unique hurdles you face as an entrepreneur, real estate investor, or small business owner. Whether you're applying for a mortgage to purchase a home, refinance, or grow your business, I can help you navigate the process with ease.

Why Is It Harder to Get a Mortgage as a Self-Employed Individual?

For self-employed individuals in BC, the mortgage application process is different. Unlike employees with consistent paychecks, business owners must prove their income through financial documentation, which can sometimes feel like a never-ending maze.

The process can be more complex and involve more steps, but with the right guidance, you can still secure the financing you need.

Tip: It’s often harder for business owners to get approved for mortgages than it is for their employees. As someone who has been there, I know the ins and outs of the mortgage process for self-employed individuals and am here to ensure you get the best terms possible.

My Journey: Overcoming the Challenges of Self-Employed Mortgages

As a self-employed mortgage broker and business owner, I’ve been in your shoes. Over the last 16 years, I’ve navigated various ventures—from consulting and retail businesses to real estate investment. I’ve faced the same challenges in securing mortgages as you might be facing now, and I understand how frustrating it can be to hit a wall when applying for a mortgage.

There were times I struggled because I didn’t have an experienced guide to help me anticipate roadblocks, but I’ve learned valuable lessons along the way. Now, I use that experience to help self-employed clients in BC avoid the same pitfalls and secure the best mortgage options available.
