Both loans serve self-employed borrowers who can't use tax returns. The key difference is how you prove your income.
Ione attracts small business owners, contractors, and rural entrepreneurs. Neither of these loans is one-size-fits-all.
Bank Statement Loans use 12 to 24 months of deposits to calculate your income. No CPA sign-off needed.
Lenders typically average your monthly deposits, then apply an expense factor. Your actual cash flow drives approval.
P&L Loans use a CPA-prepared profit and loss statement to verify income. One document replaces months of bank records.
Your CPA must be licensed and sign the P&L. Lenders scrutinize this closely — a sloppy P&L kills deals fast.
Bank Statement Loans require more paperwork upfront. P&L Loans compress that into one document — but that document has to be airtight.
Income calculation differs too. Deposits get averaged and discounted. A P&L shows net profit directly, which can read higher or lower depending on how your books are kept.
If your bank deposits are strong and consistent, Bank Statement Loans often show higher qualifying income. That matters in Amador County where properties can require larger loan amounts.
If your CPA already produces clean financials and your net profit is solid, a P&L Loan can close faster with less back-and-forth.
