The problem

The client ran a company abroad and paid himself irregularly. Three banks looked for a fixed personal salary on a payslip, did not find one, and declined. Each decline cost weeks and the villa was above AED 5M, where financing limits are lower anyway.

What we changed

We stopped presenting the file as a salaried case. Instead we chose a bank that assesses company accounts: audited statements, shareholder register and the pattern of transfers to the personal account. The file went in once, structured the way that bank reads it.

The outcome

Approved on the fourth application — the first one we handled. Details changed to protect the client's privacy.
