The COVID-19 pandemic changed everything. Not just how Australians live and work, but how many chose to take control of their future. For thousands, that meant stepping into self employment.
Tradies going out on their own. Professionals becoming consultants. Families launching side hustles that turned into full time businesses. It’s been bold, brave and for many, incredibly successful.
But here’s the reality:
When it comes time to borrow money, especially for commercial property, the system still treats you like a risk.
If You’ve Ever Been Told “No” Despite Doing Everything Right?
You’re not alone.
You might have:
- ABN income that’s solid, but not “consistent enough” for a bank’s liking
- Only one year of financials (because you’re growing, fast)
- Income that’s seasonal, project based, or paid through invoices
- Reinvested into your business instead of taking a big salary
And even though you’re earning, planning, building you still get told you don’t fit the mould.
It’s not just frustrating, it’s disheartening.
You’re growing a real business. You’re creating jobs. You’ve got vision.
But traditional lending hasn’t kept up with the new world of work.
The Move Toward Commercial Property
More and more self employed Aussies are buying their own spaces.
A shed, a workshop, a retail shop, a commercial block to grow into.
You might be:
- Sick of paying someone else’s mortgage
- Ready to scale but need a bigger premises
- Wanting a secure asset that works as hard as you do
But when it comes to securing a commercial loan, it’s like hitting a brick wall.
