Overview

This product is specifically tailored for applicants with business income, requiring at least half of their working income to be from self-employment. It is applicable only for owner-occupied properties, aligning with the needs of homeowners who also run their own businesses. The lending areas for this product are confined to large and medium urban centres, focusing on regions with substantial economic activity.
