Your accounts, read properly

Most high-street lenders want a minimum of 12 months' trading and a full year's accounts. But how income is assessed varies enormously: salary and dividends, retained profits, day rates - different lenders read the same business very differently.

The job is knowing which lender reads yours most favourably, and preparing the application the way their underwriters expect.
