Commercial Property Finance Built Around Your Requirements
Commercial property financing can involve more complex considerations than residential property finance. The appropriate financing structure may depend on the property type, purchase price, rental income, business activity, financial position, existing liabilities, ownership structure and the financial institution’s criteria. Prime Trust helps eligible clients understand these considerations and navigate potential commercial property financing options.
Commercial Property Financing Solutions
Depending on the property, applicant profile and financial institution, potential financing requirements may include:
Financing for Different Commercial Property Categories
Commercial Property Finance for Eligible Clients
Understanding Commercial Mortgage Eligibility
Commercial property financing can involve a detailed assessment of both the borrower and the property. Financial institutions may consider:
Financing Commercial Property as an Investment
Commercial property can be acquired for different investment objectives, including rental income and long-term asset ownership. For eligible investment properties, financial institutions may consider factors such as:
- Existing rental income
- Lease agreements
- Occupancy
- Property valuation
- Property location
- Property type
- Purchase price
- Applicant's financial position
- Existing liabilities
- Expected repayment capacity
Prime Trust can help investors understand the potential financing considerations before proceeding.
Finance Your Business Premises
If your business operates from leased premises, you may consider purchasing an eligible property for your own business operations. Potential benefits may include:
- Greater control over business premises
- Long-term property ownership
- Potential asset accumulation
- Reduced dependence on leased premises
However, property ownership also involves significant financial commitments and costs. Prime Trust can help you understand the financing considerations associated with an eligible commercial property purchase.
Reviewing Your Existing Commercial Mortgage
If you already have commercial property finance, refinancing may be considered for various reasons, depending on eligibility. Potential objectives may include:
- Reviewing financing terms
- Restructuring existing obligations
- Managing cash flow
- Consolidating eligible facilities
- Exploring additional financing
- Reviewing the overall financing arrangement
Before refinancing, clients should consider the existing outstanding balance, current terms, settlement charges, new financing costs and the overall financial impact.
Unlocking Potential Financing Against Eligible Property
Property owners may be able to explore financing secured against qualifying commercial property. Potential uses may include eligible:
- Business funding
- Working capital
- Expansion requirements
- Investment opportunities
- Refinancing
The availability, loan-to-value ratio, pricing and purpose of financing depend on the property, applicant profile and financial institution’s criteria.
