04

The trade-off is documentation burden. You'll submit 24 months of bank statements and a profit-and-loss statement.

A conventional loan requires filed tax returns and typically shows lower rates. A 1099 income loan accepts bank deposits instead, which costs more in rate but opens qualification when tax returns fall short.
If your business is profitable but your tax return is thin, 1099 wins. If you have clean W-2 income and filed returns, conventional is the faster, cheaper path.
