    Hi,

    I just joined! I currently work full time and looking at having a side business and one day quite my full time job. Do you know if having a business will hurt my serviceability and borrowing power? That's if i continue to have my full time job as I don't want to give up investing. Not sure how banks will view this as favourable or atleast until a certain amount of time?

    It will only hurt your servicing if it's taking money out of your pocket (ie. losing money).

    If it's a profitable business – you may be able to use the income it generates to improve your borrowing capacity. You usually have to have a couple of years financials behind you to demonstrate this.

    Cheers
