Common Eligibility Questions

Can I apply if I'm self-employed?

Yes! Self-employed income is accepted. You'll need to provide proof of income such as bank statements, tax returns, or business financial statements.

What if I have bad credit or no credit history?

We work with lenders who specialize in bad credit and no credit situations. Your credit score is just one factor—income stability and down payment also matter.

Can I apply if I'm on disability or receiving pension income?

Yes, disability and pension income are considered valid sources of income for auto financing.

Do I need a co-signer?

Not always. Many of our lenders approve applications without a co-signer. However, having a co-signer with good credit can improve your approval odds and potentially lower your interest rate.

What if I'm on a work permit or temporary resident?

Temporary residents with valid work permits may qualify if they meet all other requirements. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
