New job in a startup - will I get a mortgage?

Hello,

I'm one of first employees in a company that has been operating for less than a year. I've been with them for seven months now and I have payslips and a permanent contract.

 My partner who I want to take mortgage with works at the same company.

Are we less likely to get a mortgage because of how new my employer is?

    So you are the directors? Or do you mean the first non-director employee?

    If you have no shareholding you should be fine. 
    Your employers ironically though would struggle.

    No, not a director, I'm one of the first employees. When I was hired there was the director, me and one more guy :)

    I have no shareholding. I'm just worried that the lender will be discouraged by how new the company is and may see it as a risk or something
