You built the business. Let’s plan the home.

Your financial story may be more complex than a paycheck. Shana helps you organize that story and explore financing paths that fit how you earn.

For business owners, independent contractors, and borrowers with variable income.

01

Make income understandable

Review business structure, ownership, income history, and the documents needed to evaluate your situation.

02

Explore documentation paths

Traditional tax-return analysis and alternative documentation programs may be considered where available and suitable.

03

Plan ahead

Large purchases, business funds, and recent income changes can affect the application. Discuss them before moving money or making commitments.

Prepare for your conversation

A few details make a clearer plan.

  • Business ownership and operating history
  • Personal and business tax returns where requested
  • Business and personal bank statements
  • Current profit-and-loss information where requested

Share sensitive documents only through the secure application portal. The exact documentation needed depends on your situation and program.
