What are the drawbacks of a self-employed loan?2023-07-31T10:53:23+10:00

The main drawback of a self-employed loan is that the interest rates may be higher than for traditional loans. This is because self-employed borrowers are considered higher-risk individuals. Lenders require more documentation to determine the risk of these borrowers defaulting on their loans, likely resulting in a longer application process.
