What You Need to Know about Commercial Property Loans

Whether you need a mortgage to purchase a new property for your business or a loan to make improvements and renovations to a property you already own, it’s important to note the differences between commercial property loans and residential property loans. Many business owners assume they know what to expect from the commercial property financing process, simply because they have already bought homes or property on their own.

In reality, these two processes are quite different, which is one of the reasons why consulting with a commercial finance expert in Armadale or Fremantle is so worth your time.

First off, when you buy a home as an individual, your personal credit rating and financial history are the key factors that a lender will use to decide whether to give you a loan and how big of a loan to offer you. When you pursue a loan for a commercial property acquisition or renovation, you will be expected to present documents concerning both your personal credit history and the business’s credit history. Most lenders will also require you to present your business plan, information about your company’s profits and losses, business bank statements, financial projections and more. For young businesses with limited credit history, you might even need to put up personal assets as collateral for the business loan.

The process for seeking commercial finance lending in Fremantle or South Perth also often involves very different loan repayment schedules than residential property financing. Homebuyers have a range of options when securing a property loan, from 15-year mortgages to 30-year mortgages. Commercial property loans are often shorter term, with higher monthly payments and higher interest.
