About Self-Employed Loans in Ontario
Self-employed borrowers in Ontario — 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 Ontario, the Consumer Protection Act gives borrowers a 2-business-day cooling-off period to cancel most personal loan agreements without penalty. The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) licenses payday lenders separately, with a maximum cost of borrowing of $14 per $100 borrowed.
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.
