How a bank statement loan works
Instead of tax returns, the lender reviews 12 to 24 months of your personal or business bank statements, averages the deposits, and applies an expense factor (often ~50%) to estimate qualifying income. No W-2s, no pay stubs, no tax returns — built for business owners whose write-offs shrink taxable income below what they truly make.
