Most business owners assume their latest NOA determines how much they can borrow.
But that’s not always the case.
In this example:
📉 NOA-based assessment
Loan Eligibility: $785,479
📈 Salary-based assessment
Loan Eligibility: $1,131,091
Difference:
💰 +$345,612 in additional loan eligibility
The surprising part?
The income didn’t change.
The business didn’t change.
The borrower didn’t change.
The only difference was how the income was structured and assessed by the bank.
⚠️ Not all banks assess business owners the same way.
Some may recognise certain income structures more favourably, while others may apply stricter requirements.
That’s why planning ahead matters.
If you’re a business owner planning to buy property in the next 6–12 months, income structuring may take 3–6 months to establish, so don’t wait until you’ve found a property.
