Bank said no?
B-lenders say yes.
B-lenders and alternative lenders approve mortgages for bruised credit, self-employed income, and life after bankruptcy or a consumer proposal — then we coach you back to a prime A-lender rate.
🏠 How Much Could You Qualify For?
Estimates only. Actual amount depends on equity, property appraisal and lender.
- ✓B-lenders approve mortgages for credit scores around 500+ with roughly 20% down.
- ✓They're built for self-employed, post-bankruptcy, consumer proposal, new-to-Canada, and high-debt-ratio borrowers.
- ✓Rates are higher than a bank, plus a ~1% lender fee, on shorter 1–3 year terms.
- ✓A B-lender is a stepping stone — our Reboot plan moves you back to a prime lender at renewal.
A bruised credit file
isn't the end of the story.
Big banks (A-lenders) demand strong credit and two years of T4 income. B-lenders and private lenders look at the whole picture — your equity, your down payment, and your story — and approve borrowers the banks reject.
- 💳Bruised credit, collections, late paymentsB-lenders approve from ~500; equity covers the rest
- ⚖️After bankruptcy or consumer proposalMany lenders approve shortly after discharge
- 📋Self-employed, commission & contract incomeFlexible, stated-income qualification
- 🍁New to Canada or thin credit historyApproved on down payment and overall profile
