## Resource

Business owners are sitting on borrowing power they don't even realise exists, and most are losing deals as they misunderstand how lenders actually assess income and structure. On The Property Nerds podcast, host Arjun Paliwal from InvestorKit and Jack Fouracre from Fouracre Financial break down how Australian business owners can scale property portfolios faster by using smarter lending and structuring strategies. The discussion challenges one of the biggest myths in property investing: that you need two years of tax returns to get a loan, revealing that many lenders will assess applications far earlier, depending on industry experience and documentation. They explain how business owners with just one year of trading can still access finance through major banks and alternative lenders, using business activity statements (BAS), income evidence, and flexible lending criteria. The episode also dives into how superannuation can be used as a wealth-building tool, with self-managed super fund (SMSF) strategies allowing investors to accelerate property acquisition while benefiting from tax advantages. Another key focus is structuring, with the hosts outlining how bucket companies and trusts can help high-income business owners reduce tax leakage and redirect more capital into property investment.
