Home loans for self employed
We make it easier for business owners to apply for a home loan. Our assessment team understands the complexities of self employed income and businesses. We make things simple with Alt Doc or Low Doc options.
You can apply with confidence, knowing that you have specialist support for you and your broker during your application.
What we offer
- Flexibile income verification, with as little as a 12 month ABN or 1 day GST registration
- An assessment team who specialise in applications for self employed borrowers
- Debt consolidation including business and ATO debts can be considered.
Low doc home loans are designed for borrowers who may not have access to the usual paperwork (i.e. tax returns or PAYG) that banks require for most home loans. This makes them a great option for business owners or self-employed individuals who might not fit the standard lending criteria.

How does Bluestone define being self-employed?

Self-employment is exactly what it sounds like – you work for yourself, and we recognise that. We also consider you self-employed when you have at least 25% ownership of a business.
What if I want to apply with Bluestone and have less than 12 months of ABN history?
What if I want to apply with Bluestone and have less than 12 months of ABN history?
If you want to apply to Bluestone through a broker with less than 12 months of ABN history, it is still possible you’d be approved. Less than 1 or 2 years of ABN history is a greater risk, similar to customers who have a full-time employment history of less than 1 year at a company.
