Because of the way the self employed - and company directors generally - earn their income, traditional income multiples that lenders work on are not always available. Hence this can prove problematic in raising finance. Having access to mortgage schemes where lenders use different ways of proving income,means that AKP have become experts in this area. A letter from a client's accountant confirming affordability or simply 6 months bank statements can often be enough to provide evidence of security.

When calculating a loan , AKP is often able to persuade lenders to take into account a certain amount of a client's business expenses used for running costs. All dividend income and gross fees can also be included as income rather than calculating merely from net profit.

In the past, many self employed clients have had limited access to competitive deals, and have discovered that remortgaging with AKP has meant saving many thousands of pounds in interest. As part of remortgaging,one of the possibilities that AKP suggests, is the restructuring of expensive business loans.
