About Self-Employed Loans in Nova Scotia
Self-employed borrowers in Nova Scotia — including freelancers, contractors, and small business owners — can access personal loans through our network. Lenders evaluate income based on bank statements and other documentation rather than traditional employment records.
In Nova Scotia, the Consumer Protection Act regulates personal loan agreements and Service Nova Scotia licenses payday and high-cost credit lenders. Cooling-off rights apply to many direct-sales credit agreements.
To get started, complete our short 2-minute application. We use a soft credit inquiry — this has no impact on your credit score. You only agree to a specific loan offer if you choose to accept it, at which point the lender may perform a full credit check.
