Mortgages for Self-Employed

As a self-starter or a business owner, you know hard work. Well, we know mortgages — and we help make your mortgage process a breeze. We can take you through the details and programs to find your best-suited lending solution, at your best rate.

Help protect your hard work with the right mortgage fit.

Self-employed or a business owner? We have the lending answers for you, and the better rates to go with it.

You declare your earnings in a different way than typical mortgage applications, so naturally, your mortgage requirements are a bit different.

At True North Mortgage, our salaried, expert brokers can offer you lending options that don't require traditional third-party validation of income. This type of mortgage typically requires a minimum of 35% down — however, it can be done for as little as 10% down through Sagen’s Business for Self (Alt. A) program.

Plus, we pass along our volume discount, for a rate advantage that makes good business sense. A few minutes with us could save you thousands, and our super smooth process will save you time and stress.

Don't just take our word for it, our clients have the last (positive) word on our unbeatable service, giving us the most 5-star reviews in the mortgage industry.
