What is a P&L Only / Alt-Doc Loan?

P&L Only / Alt-Doc Loans are designed for self-employed borrowers who may not have traditional income documents such as tax returns or W-2s. Instead, lenders use Profit & Loss statements and alternative documents to verify income, providing a flexible and streamlined path to mortgage approval. These programs are ideal for business owners, freelancers, and entrepreneurs with complex or fluctuating income.

Self-employed individuals, gig-workers, business owners, and borrowers with irregular or complex income streams benefit most from these loans.

Requirements vary but usually include a Profit & Loss statement, business license, bank statements, and credit documentation. Some lenders require an accountant-prepared P&L.

Down payments typically start around 10–20%, depending on the borrower’s credit, financial profile, and property type.

Rates may be slightly higher than traditional loans, but borrowers with strong credit and solid business performance can still secure competitive terms.
