This includes freelancers, contractors and consultants.<\/p> According to Statistics Canada, 13.2% of people employed in Canada were self-employed in 2023, or over 2.65 million people. Most (71.9%) operate small businesses with no employees. Autonomy is cited as the biggest reason people choose to be self-employed (38.2%) followed by the ability to pursue passions (14.3%).<\/p> Yes, there are loans for self-employed people with bad credit. But you might have to look beyond your local bank to alternative lenders. These have less strict criteria to attract customers\u2014including bad credit borrowers\u2014who have a hard time getting funding from banks.<\/p> Some online lenders consider applicants with credit scores as low as 300. Perhaps the easiest way to find self-employed loans for bad credit is to use a loan broker like Loans Canada<\/a> or LoanConnect<\/a>. Once you fill out a single application, you\u2019ll be matched with suitable lending partners from among the broker\u2019s network. It\u2019s typically free, and you\u2019re under no obligation to move forward with a loan.<\/p>![\"money](\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/05\/money-cash-icon_Finder_500x500.png\" "\\"Image:"){kind=icon}
