Question 1

Can I use both bank statements and a P&L together?

Accepted Answer

Some lenders allow both to support your file. Most programs require one primary income doc — your broker picks the stronger path.

Does my CPA need special credentials for a P&L loan?

Accepted Answer

The CPA must be licensed and independent. Lenders will not accept P&Ls you prepared yourself.

Neither is inherently easier. It depends on your business cash flow and how well your books are organized.
