Commercial Mortgages

Many businesses need an injection of capital to buy, to invest, develop, convert or refurbish properties, or to refinance existing mortgage loans to reduce their business operating costs.

Commercial finance requires a tailored approach, and we offer in-depth experience and expertise in this area. Commercial mortgage rates are not standardised in the same way as residential mortgages are, instead the rate offered by a lender reflects the strength of the proposal put forward, and that’s where we can offer valuable help and advice.

The cost of borrowing can be a significant cost for any business, so it’s important to get the right impartial advice, and a mortgage on the right terms and at competitive rates.

Commercial Loans

What is a Commercial Loan?

A commercial loan is a debt-based funding arrangement between a business and a financial institution, typically used to fund major capital expenditures and or cover operational costs that the company may otherwise be unable to afford.

Expensive upfront costs and regulatory hurdles often prevent small businesses from having direct access to debt and equity markets for financing. Similar to consumer credit, smaller businesses must rely on other lending products, such as a line of credit, unsecured loans or term loans.
