    FAQ

    What are commercial bridging loans?

    Commercial bridging loans are loans secured against property and used for commercial purposes. They are immediate cash sums loaned over a short period to bridge the gap until you can structure a repayment plan. With the money, you can purchase, renovate or develop offices, warehouses, retail stores, restaurants and a host of other commercial ventures. 

     

    Why should I choose a bridging loan?

    Commercial bridging provides the capital to take time-sensitive opportunities and implement long time financing plans later. They are ideal for purchasing and renovating commercial properties.

    How much capital can I borrow?

    You can borrow up to £50 million from us, depending on the value of the security property.

    Can I still apply for a commercial bridging loan with poor credit?

    You can. We specialise in working with individuals with poor credit. We don’t complete automated credit checks, and our experts will help you find a solution.

    Can I apply for a bridging loan if I’m retired?

    Yes. You can apply and secure our bridging loans as long as you have one or more properties to secure the loan against and a repayment plan. They are great for UK residents with low income-to-debt ratios.

    Can I apply for a bridging loan if I’m self-employed?

    Yes, all you need to be eligible for our loans is one or more properties to secure against and a repayment plan. Bridging loans are ideal for UK residents with a low income-to-debt ratio.

    Can I apply for a commercial bridging loan to buy land?

    Yes, if you want to buy land for commercial purposes, you fund the purchase with our commercial bridging loans.

    How is my interest rate determined?

    All our interest rates are unique to the loan beneficiary and depend on the security property’s value. Speak to our experts for more information.

    How does residential and commercial bridging finance differ?

    The key difference between commercial and residential bridging finance is the type of property the loan purchases. A residential loan is used for residential investments, for example, purchasing a property to let out to tenants for living accommodation.

    Commercial bridging loans help people invest in a property that will house or generate income for a business.

    Why are your commercial loan rates higher than your residential loan rates?

    We determine our loan rates based on risk. Residential properties are easier to liquidate than commercial alternatives, so there is a lower risk to us as a lender. 

    What information do I need to supply for a commercial bridging loan?

    We only ask for three small pieces of information with your commercial bridging loan application:

    • The full address, value and details of outstanding balances on the security property
    • A repayment strategy
    • A business plan explaining how you will use the capital
    How long does it take to arrange a commercial bridging?

    Generally, it takes a week or two to secure a commercial bridging loan, though we have previously helped clients secure them within 24 hours. Preparing all the necessary paperwork and using our expert advisors will shorten the process.

    Once we have agreed upon the loan, the funds can be in your business account within a few business days.

    Are all commercial bridging loans unregulated?

    Bridging loans are only ever regulated when offered to consumers, so our commercial options are unregulated as they do not impact personal rights.

    Do you charge additional fees?

    No, with our loans, there are no hidden fees or entry and exit costs. We explain every cost before you sign the contract and won’t surprise you with unexpected fees.
