We consider all cases individually and most lenders on our panel will accept SA302s as proof of income if they don’t have an accountant or accountant certificate. SA302s can also be accepted if self-employed customers need their applications to be based on their most-recent income, rather than an average of the past two years.
YES! We can help customers in almost any situation, even if they have a less than perfect credit score.
