There’s something that I find a lot of company directors don't realise until it's too late.
You've taken a small salary and dividends on your accountant's advice, which is sensible for tax.
But to a standard lender, that looks like a £50k income, even if your company is holding significantly more profit.
And tha’ts why so many directors end up borrowing way less than they should be able to.
The good news is some specialist lenders will look at your salary plus your share of the company's net profit instead, and that can make a serious difference to what you can borrow.
And as a director myself, I completely get it.
