Bad credit? Self-employed? You still have options.
We help eligible borrowers get a home loan now, then follow a 12-month plan to strengthen credit and review refinance to a sharper deal. Specialist lenders that understand self-employed income. Low-doc friendly approach (case-by-case). 12-month rebuild and refinance plan.
Banks love perfect paperwork. Real life doesn't work like that.
Self-employed income doesn't fit neat boxes. A late payment or two doesn't mean you can't borrow. We get it. The system was built for payslips and perfect credit scores, but you've got a business to run and a life that doesn't always line up with what the Big Four want to see.
The 12-month rebuild and refinance path
We don't promise quick fixes or guarantees. What we do is map a clear, honest path forward. Get a loan now through specialist lenders who understand self-employed income, then spend 12 months building clean conduct. After that, we review what's possible for refinance.
Step one
Quick eligibility check with no obligation or credit impact.
Step two
We match you to a lender and product that fits your situation.
Step three
Set up repayments you can manage and stay on track.
Step four
Follow a credit improvement roadmap while you build clean payment conduct.
Step five
At 12 months, we review refinance options subject to assessment.

Who this is for
We're honest about who we can help and who we can't. No false promises.
Good fit if you
If you’ve got ABN or self-employed income, can afford repayments now, and you’ve had a few credit bumps (late payments/defaults), you’re likely a good fit, especially if you want a clear, structured path to improve your credit and work towards a better rate over time.
Not a fit if you
If you can’t meet repayments right now, you’re in hardship without a solid plan (or haven’t been able to stick to one), or you’re chasing instant approvals and quick fixes, it’s not the right fit at this stage. If you can reach 6 months of stability, please reach out to us again.
Real borrowers, real results
These aren't promises. They're examples of what's possible when you have a plan.
From messy credit to back on track
Late payments don't define you. A clear plan and twelve months of discipline do.
Self-employed income, assessed properly
Your business and repayments tell the real story. No payslips needed.
Clear plan, clear communication
You know exactly what happens next and why. No surprises, no jargon.

Self-employed Australians who got moving
Thanks to Freedom Loans I can finally look forward to a bright, happy and healthy future without the constant worry of what tomorrow might bring.”
Within just a couple of days they secured me a much lower rate and lifted an enormous weight off my shoulders. With a wedding coming up and expenses mounting, I was extremely stressed. Now I finally have the freedom to live my life without constantly feeling crushed by high interest.”
Not only did they secure finance for us, they did it at a very low interest rate and with manageable repayments. We went from being on the brink of losing everything to being financially stable again. We genuinely believe they saved us.”
Freedom Loans listened, understood and within an hour told us they could help. From that moment on we were supported the entire way. We now have a loan we’re comfortable with and our home is secure. If you’re looking for help, don’t start with the A’s — start with the F’s. Freedom Loans gave us our financial freedom back.”
Their professionalism and determination delivered a result when no one else could. We would recommend them to anyone needing a real solution rather than a polite rejection.”
We’ve now settled and reduced our interest rate by nearly 2%! This makes a huge difference to our weekly finances. They kept pushing through every obstacle until we got the result.”

FAQs
Questions about bad credit loans and the twelve-month rebuild path
Sometimes. If there are recent missed payments, defaults, or a thin credit file, it may still be possible, but options depend heavily on how recent/severe the issues are and your deposit/equity.
Recent arrears, unpaid defaults, multiple recent enquiries, and unsettled debts generally have the biggest impact.
A formal application usually creates a credit enquiry. We prefer to do a pre-assessment first so we only apply when the deal has legs.
We can map a straightforward improvement path: clean repayment conduct, reduce key debts, tidy documentation, and aim for a refinance window once your profile strengthens.
Yes. If we get you approved now, we can set milestones (documentation + repayment history + credit clean-up) so you’re positioned to refinance to a sharper product when eligible.
