Oakville purchases and refinances for business owners use the same documents as the rest of the GTA: notices of assessment, T1 Generals, financial statements, and business bank statements.
MKG Mortgages picks the lender whose rules can use that paperwork, including dividend income and add-backs the program allows.
MKG matches the documents you have filed to a program that can use them. CMHC can gross up verified income or add back deductions the program allows. Sagen and Canada Guaranty stated-income programs still keep line 15000 and the bank statements.
Illustrated salary $80,000 and dividends $70,000, two years running, with financial statements that show the company can support those payments. One lender adds salary and dividends. Another stops at a single line on the T1 General. The notices of assessment have to agree.
These are the kinds of self-employed mortgages files we structure in Oakville.
Illustrative example
The challenge. The business deposits were healthy, and the taxable income on the return was lower because of ordinary write-offs.
How MKG structured it. We built a business-for-self file with an alternative lender, added back the expenses that lender allows, and supported it with two years of notices of assessment and business bank statements.
Illustrative example
The challenge. A salary letter did not show the dividends the owner actually took from the company.
How MKG structured it. We used two years of T1 Generals, the corporate financials, and the dividend record. An A-lender program that accepts salary plus dividends was the fit.
Illustrative example
The challenge. Commission landed in uneven months, so a single pay period did not describe the year.
How MKG structured it. We averaged two years of commission income from the T1 and notices of assessment, and attached the year-to-date commission statement and deposit history.
Illustrative example
The challenge. Income arrived as many small platform deposits, with no employer letter.
How MKG structured it. We documented the work with notices of assessment and business bank statements that show the platform deposits, then placed it with an alternative lender that reads those records.
Illustrative example
The challenge. There was one full tax year, plus contracts and a strong year-to-date.
How MKG structured it. We used the filed year, the contracts, and business bank statements with an alternative lender. Where a prime file needed more history, a co-signer or a short private mortgage bridged back to prime.
Illustrative example
The challenge. Canadian credit was short, and the company was new, while the down payment was already saved.
How MKG structured it. We traced the down payment, used the business bank statements and the job or contract on file, and structured the purchase with a newcomer program and a co-signer where that strengthened it.
The program follows the documents you have filed and the statements that support them.
Professionals and incorporated owners show up across Old Oakville, Bronte, and Glen Abbey. The house might be in Joshua Creek or West Oak Trails while the company is in the GTA. River Oaks and Downtown Oakville files are often refinances, which need the same income records as a purchase.

A self-employed client wrote that the file was organized around the business documents they actually had, after a bank had passed.
