Frequently asked questions

I'm a gym-contracted PT on ABN. Will banks lend?

Yes — through specialist lenders. With 2 years of BAS and tax returns showing consistent income, gym-contracted PTs are treated similarly to other small business owners.

My client bookings vary month to month. Will lenders accept that?

Lenders care about annual consistency, not month-to-month. Strong yearly BAS and tax returns smooth out monthly variation.

How much can I borrow as a PT on $80K net income?

For a PT on $80K net (after expenses) with 20% deposit, $520K–$650K borrowing is commonly achievable.

I run online coaching too. Does that count as income?

Yes — online coaching income is acceptable if it shows in your BAS and tax returns. Subscription income with consistent history is treated similarly to other PT income.

Will gym chair fees reduce my assessable income?

Yes — gym fees are deducted as business expenses. Net income after gym fees is what counts for borrowing.
