Lenders will want to see your profit and loss accounts to determine the amount of profit you have made. Some lenders will look at an average profit over two or three years, others will be happy to use the most recent set of accounts.
You may also be asked about contracts you have in the pipeline and what your forecast profits are.
If you submit self-assessment accounts to HMRC, you will receive a form SA302, showing the total income received and the tax due and this should be produced together with the required sets of accounts which should ideally be prepared by your accountant.
Are you worried about needing to provide evidence of your earnings?
