Income Stability
Consistent income patterns across months and years
Business Age
Years of business continuity in the same field
Credit Behaviour
Credit history and repayment discipline
Existing Obligations
Current loans and financial commitments
Property Value
Assessment of the property being financed
Our advisor explains each factor in simple terms so that expectations remain realistic and transparent.
