Joint Borrower, Sole Proprietor (JBSP) Mortgages
Helping self-employed borrowers get the mortgage they need
If you’re self-employed, getting a mortgage can sometimes feel tricky, especially when lenders want proof of a steady income. A Joint Borrower, Sole Proprietor (JBSP) mortgage makes it easier by letting you apply with a partner or co-borrower who has a regular income.
This way, your combined income is considered, helping you secure a higher mortgage and improving your chances of approval.
What is a JBSP Mortgage?
A JBSP mortgage is designed for self-employed borrowers. It lets a partner, spouse, or family member with a regular income join the application as a joint borrower, while the main applicant stays the sole business owner.
This approach gives lenders extra confidence while still recognizing your self-employed status.
Who Can Benefit?
JBSP mortgages are ideal for:
- Self-employed individuals – Those who need extra support to meet lender requirements.
- Borrowers with variable income – Especially if your earnings are recent or fluctuate.
- Couples or partners – Combine incomes to increase your mortgage options.
- Those wanting maximum borrowing – Secure a higher mortgage without changing business ownership.
Benefits of a JBSP Mortgage
- Better mortgage eligibility – Combining incomes can help you meet lender requirements.
- Flexible options – Works for a variety of property purchases.
- Keep business ownership – The self-employed applicant remains the sole proprietor.
