Key Features
- CPA-prepared profit and loss statement (12 or 24 months)
- No tax returns required
- CPA must sign and attest to P&L accuracy
- Business must be 2+ years established
- Loan amounts up to $3 million
- Available for primary, second home, and investment
- Some lenders also require 2 months bank statements for P&L verification
Who Is This For?
- Self-employed borrowers who prefer P&L over bank statements
- Business owners with strong current income but weak prior-year taxes
- Borrowers whose CPA can verify income more easily than bank analysis
Florida-Specific Considerations
- Florida’s large self-employed population (gig economy, tourism, real estate)
- Simpler documentation than bank statement loans for many FL borrowers
- Works well for seasonal Florida businesses with strong recent P&L
