While SMSFs have been the tool of the self employed long before they became a popular investment vehicle for mum and dads investors, many of them are now finding themselves locked out of one of the most efficient strategy on offer for the very reason that they are self employed.
It’s no secret that for the small business operator, making personal superannuation fund contributions comes very low on the list of things to address. Furthermore, it is not unusual for a reason or another not to be fully up to date with tax returns lodgements or for these very lodgements to reflect the up to date situation of their business.
The problem is that if they have not been contributing consistently over the last 24 months and if they don’t have all their paperwork in order, most SMSF lenders will simply refuse to offer them an SMSF loan. As a result of this lending landscape, many self employed find themselves locked out of purchasing an investment property with their SMSF or even worse, locked out of purchasing business premises for their own business using their superannuation.

However, they will accept that reassurance via a declaration form that the accountant can fill in and sign and not the usual tropical forest worth of documents that other lenders require.
