CAREERS CORNER – Why is it hard for freelancers/irregular earners to get access to home & car loans.

--:--

GUEST - Eunice Sibiya - Independent Financial Educator, Coach and Speaker AND Renier Kriek, Managing Director at Sentinel Homes

Those with a regular salary and decent credit record are often able to access credit fairly easily. However, being self-employed, a freelancer or commission earner is a different ball game altogether. Anyone who has a business or earns money from multiple sources without having a full-time position knows how difficult it is to access finance. To some it may even seem impossible to get a home loan.
