I’m self-employed, am I still eligible?Self-employed loans used to be difficult to find and expensive. But today, now that more and more people are working for themselves, self-employed loans are widely available and, as interest rates have fallen to their lowest in years, more affordable.So whether you're a contractor or you run your own business, whether you have certified accounts or no proof of income, you can still obtain credit with a secured or unsecured self-employed loan. A wide variety of lenders offer self-employed loans – and they can be tailored to suit your individual financial circumstances. For example, if you have an adverse credit history or bad credit rating, such as mortgage arrears, credit card problems or payment defaults, there are still companies that will offer you a self-employed loan. If you can't prove how much you earn, you will be able to self-certify your income using a professional organisation. If you have at least 2 years’ certified accounts, you will be able to take on a loan that offers similar rates and benefits to those you would enjoy if you were employed.
