Commercial Loans
Commercial loans are for purchasing or refinancing freehold ( or long leasehold), owner-occupied or investment properties. Typical loan to values are around 50% to 75% maximum. Not all loans are asset backed and pure banking propositions are also under this category. Commercial loans are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority unless the loan is on your main residence and not for business use.
Get in touch
Commercial lending is the domain of the retail banks and more recently the challenger banks.
Specialist departments of building societies also undertake this activity. Due to the heightened risk in this sector LTV’s are conservative and the underwriting is more stringent.
The banks look for your experience and the business profitability. The business has to demonstrate it can service the loan . We typically need a CV, Asset & Liability Statement, 3 years Business Accounts and 6 months bank statements. Where the asset is tenanted we need full details of the lease and tenant.
