Who this guide is for

Sydney market stall owners and traders wanting home loans from lenders who understand cash-heavy market businesses.

  • Fruit, vegetable, fish and meat market traders
  • Clothing, jewellery, gift and craft market stall owners
  • Multi-generational family market businesses
  • South Asian and migrant market traders needing cultural language support

The real challenge

Market stall businesses share the same challenges as restaurant owners — cash-heavy operations with strong turnover but often modest taxable income after expenses. Major banks reject. They look at the tax return and stop.

Specialist lenders understand market trading. With 2+ years of BAS and consistent bank deposits, market traders can access home loans on workable terms.

How Mortgagefy helps

Mortgagefy works with specialist lenders who accept market stall owner income. We help document trading history, present BAS turnover correctly, and identify lenders flexible with cash deposit patterns.

Free, honest advice with cultural language support where needed.

Frequently asked questions

We use offer letters and vesting schedules to value RSUs conservatively. We present current vesting value + projected future vesting as a 3-5 year income average. This gives lenders confidence in your income stability while accounting for market volatility.
Both. We work with W2 employees, 1099 contractors, and consultants. For contractors, we use 2 years of tax returns plus business financials. We have lenders who specialise in contractor income—they understand the variability.
Unvested options have zero value for refinancing. We count only vested equity. If you have a 4-year vest, we use 25% of the grant value (what's vested) plus a conservative projection of future vesting.
If you've been in your new role 6+ months, most lenders will refinance. We'll use your offer letter plus 6 months of pay stubs. If less than 6 months, it's harder but possible with specialist lenders.
Yes, if you have 2+ years of bonus history. We average the past 2 years and present it conservatively. Some bonuses get counted at 50% to be conservative with variable compensation.
ESPP is counted as deferred compensation. If your company matches or you have a discount, we value it as part of total compensation package.
