Common Self-Employed Mortgage Questions — Ontario 2026
Clear answers to the most common questions from Ontario's self-employed borrowers.
Yes. B-lenders across Ontario have specific self-employed mortgage programs. lendsimpl works with 30+ alternative lenders who accept NOA income, bank statement income, and stated income. Rates from 4.99%. FSRA Licensed Brokerage #13763.
Most B-lenders accept: (1) 2 years of Notices of Assessment (NOA), (2) 12–24 months of business bank statements showing deposit history, or (3) stated income with a reasonable industry benchmark. We review your situation and identify the strongest qualifying path.
Yes, and this is the most common self-employed mortgage challenge. B-lenders use different income calculations: your NOA income plus add-backs (non-cash deductions), gross bank deposits, or stated income. A traditional bank using just Line 150 will often decline you even though your actual cashflow is strong.
Yes. B-lenders accept salary, dividends, and in some cases retained earnings from your corporation. We present your income in the way that maximizes your qualifying amount. Corporation ownership is specifically accommodated in B-lender underwriting.
B-lenders accept credit scores from 500 for self-employed borrowers. Even with bruised credit, collections, or limited history, there are options. The rate and LTV will reflect your credit profile, but qualification is possible.
Self-employed B-lender mortgage rates in Ontario start from 4.99% (as of 2026). The exact rate depends on your credit score, LTV, income documentation type, and property. Call (416) 299-6096 or submit a request for a personalized quote — FSRA #13763.
B-lenders are institutional lenders (trust companies, credit unions, monoline lenders) regulated by OSFI or provincial regulators. They offer rates from 4.99%. Private lenders are unregulated and charge 10–14%+. Most self-employed borrowers should exhaust B-lender options before considering private lending.
Yes. This is called an exit strategy. After 12–24 months of B-lender mortgage history, most self-employed borrowers improve their income documentation enough to qualify at an A-lender. lendsimpl plans your exit from day one.
With proper documentation, conditional approval typically takes 24–48 hours. Full approval and funding takes 2–3 weeks for standard purchases. lendsimpl manages the entire process and keeps you updated daily.
Yes. Most B-lender self-employed programs require a minimum 20% down payment (80% LTV). Some programs allow lower down payments with mortgage default insurance (CMHC). lendsimpl will confirm the minimum required for your situation.
