More than 2.4 million Australians are self-employed, including 1 million who operate as sole traders.
If you are one of these 2.4 million, you’ll know how rewarding it can be – more flexibility with your work hours, better work life balance, you get to choose who you work with, you have the option to work where you like, you have more control over your income, and there are possible tax advantages.
However, sometimes, it can be a little more challenging, especially when it comes time to buy a home. This is because you will need to demonstrate a stable income and continuity of employment and this can often be difficult.
