What it is

A commercial mortgage provides long-term finance to purchase or refinance commercial property, whether it is premises your business occupies or intends to occupy, an investment property or a semi-commercial property. Facilities can run for up to 25 years and reach up to 75% of the property's value. For owner-occupied property, lenders assess affordability against the performance of the trading business. For investment property, they assess the rental income against the mortgage payment.

The economics can be closer than many business owners expect. Mortgage repayments can sit near the rent already being paid, but with the property ultimately sitting on your balance sheet rather than your landlord's.

Commercial mortgages can also refinance existing property debt or release equity from property you already own. Where the valuation supports it and the purpose is a business one, that capital can be used for growth, investment or to replace more expensive borrowing.

Who it suits
  • You want to buy premises for your business to occupy.
  • You are paying rent and want to acquire the premises you currently trade from.
  • You are buying investment or semi-commercial property to let.
  • You want to refinance existing commercial property debt.
  • You want to release equity from property you already own for a business purpose.
