  What Is a P&L Loan?  

A P&L Loan—also known as a Profit & Loss Mortgage Loan—allows self‑employed borrowers to qualify for a home loan using their business’s Profit & Loss statements instead of W‑2s or tax returns. This program is ideal for entrepreneurs whose tax filings don’t accurately reflect their true income due to deductions or business write‑offs.

With a P&L Loan from ABC United Finance Corp, you can leverage your business performance to secure the financing you need with flexible documentation and competitive terms.

Who Is a P&L Loan For?

P&L Loans are designed for:

  • Self‑employed business owners
  • Freelancers and gig‑economy workers
  • Independent contractors
  • Entrepreneurs with fluctuating income
  • Borrowers with significant tax write‑offs

If you don’t have traditional income documentation, a P&L Loan may be the perfect solution.
