Why Do Self-Employed Individuals Struggle with Bank Mortgages?

Self-employed applicants often face three "fatal flaws" when applying for traditional bank mortgages, making it nearly impossible to pass strict stress tests:

1. Lack of Fixed Income Proof: Banks rely heavily on monthly payroll records to assess repayment ability. With fluctuating incomes or cash transactions, banks find it difficult to calculate the Debt-to-Income Ratio (DSR).
2. Strict Tax & Audit Requirements: Banks usually require 1-2 years of tax returns, financial statements, or audit reports. Many taxi drivers or small vendors report minimal profits for tax efficiency, leading to immediate rejection.
3. Reduced LTV Ratios: Even with tax returns, banks often "discount" the income or require a guarantor, and frequently deny high-LTV mortgage insurance.

Property Cash-out: Financing Without Tax Returns

To meet the urgent liquidity needs of the self-employed, GICL Global Credit provides the perfect breakthrough: "Asset-Based Underwriting."

How it Works：

Whether you are a first-time owner or looking to refinance, as long as you hold a valuable HK property (private residential, tenement, village house, industrial, or car park), GICL views the asset as the ultimate security. We skip complex income checks and tax returns, approving up to 80% LTV based purely on the property's market value.

This flexible model is not just for home buying; it serves as a lifeline for business turnover, owner loans, or debt consolidation!

Case Study: Self-Employed Photographer Secures $3M Cash-out with No Income Proof

Background：Mr. Chan is a full-time freelancer with high but unstable income, mostly in cash or cheques. He needed $3M for a new studio but only owned one mortgage-free tenement flat.

Problem︰He applied for a bank mortgage, but due to no tax returns and conservative valuation on the old building, the application failed after a month.

GICL Solution: He turned to GICL. We waived income proof and provided an aggressive valuation for his property.

Result： GICL approved the $3M loan in 24 hours! Mr. Chan bought his studio and chose an "Interest-Only" plan to minimize cash flow pressure.
