Summary
Multiple speakers discuss the challenge of verifying self-employed income for a mortgage or account application. They review that the applicant's income fluctuates and that three months of bank statements are required. They note that only Barclays statements were sent initially, which show lower income, and that the Zempler business account and Starling statements need to be provided. They plan to send the correct documents via a secure link and anticipate explaining to the finance company that private client payments are legitimate business income.
