Commercial Lending FAQs

A secured loan requires a tangible asset—such as residential or commercial real estate, or high-value equipment—to act as collateral for the lender, typically unlocking lower interest rates and larger loan amounts. An unsecured commercial loan does not require physical collateral; instead, the lender assesses your monthly business turnover and cash flow strength on bank statements, resulting in faster approval times but carrying a higher risk premium on the interest rate.
Your everyday bank can only offer you their specific line of products and rigid lending criteria. If your business financials don't perfectly fit their box, you risk a direct rejection. A professional commercial loan broker acts as your independent advocate. We look at your business holistically and match your scenario with the exact lender whose current credit appetite aligns with your industry, significantly increasing your chances of a successful approval.
Unlike residential properties where deposits can be lower, standard loans for commercial real estate generally require a larger equity contribution. Most major lenders cap their Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR) between 65% and 70% of the property's valuation. However, through our extensive non-bank networks, we can regularly explore specialized pathways that allow more than 70% LVR depending on the case scenario.
Commercial property lending generally requires a deposit or equity contribution. If you lack a cash deposit but hold equity in a residential or commercial property, we can structure the loan using that equity as security—allowing you to purchase new business premises without a cash deposit upfront.
