For Business Owners & Entrepreneurs
Mortgages for Self-Employed Business Owners in Ontario
The story behind your numbers is bigger than what your tax return shows. PMC qualifies based on what you actually earn — not just what you report after write-offs.
The Core Problem
Why Banks Say No to Business Owners
Banks are built for T4 employees. Their algorithms measure income by what you declare after deductions — meaning every dollar you legitimately save on taxes is a dollar subtracted from your mortgage qualification.
A business generating $500K in revenue might report $120K in taxable income after expenses, depreciation, and write-offs. The bank approves based on $120K. PMC looks at $500K — and the real picture beneath it.
This isn't a problem with your business. It's a limitation of how traditional lenders assess income.
