The wider assessment
Turn the remuneration package into clear evidence
We distinguish salary from variable cash, deferred awards, benefits and reimbursed expenses. Payslips, award statements and the employment agreement may each cover a different part of the package. A recent appointment or move between countries can alter what has been received and what remains conditional. Larger borrowing also needs a full view of existing liabilities.
Income acceptance, borrowing amount and term depend on the lender’s individual assessment. Future awards, distributions, business exits or asset growth are not guaranteed. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments.
