What is a commercial mortgage?
A commercial mortgage is essentially a loan taken out against your property or land. It could be said that commercial mortgages take over where a typical loan ends. By using property as the collateral, commercial mortgages allow lenders the security to offer larger amounts of money than would be available via other loan types. This is because they reduce the risks to themselves whilst giving your business greater financial room for growth.
Although similar, commercial mortgages do work slightly differently from a regular mortgage as there are no fixed rates and they usually have higher interest rates. The repayment terms can vary from 3-25 years and this can depend on size and value of the property.
Commercial mortgages can be offered for most legal businesses.
How does a commercial mortgage work?
The same way home owners can get a mortgage for their house, business owners can get a commercial mortgage for their business. If you are considering buying land or a property for your business then a commercial mortgage could be for you. A commercial mortgage is very similar to a residential mortgage in that you will require a deposit first and then continue with monthly payments. The deposit is usually around 30% of the total value. Commercial mortgages have no fixed rates and typically have higher interest rates. The terms of the mortgage can vary business to business so Parkins Finance will advise you on reaching the terms that are most manageable and beneficial to your business.
