COMMERCIAL Bridging Finance

What Is Commercial Bridging Finance?

Commercial bridging finance is a short-term loan secured against commercial or semi-commercial property. It provides funds while longer-term finance is arranged, a sale completes or a project reaches the point where it can be refinanced.

Commercial bridging finance works alongside a commercial mortgage, providing funds quickly while longer-term finance is put in place. Commercial bridging finance lenders focus primarily on the value of the property and how the bridging loan will be repaid, typically through refinancing onto a commercial mortgage or the sale of the property.

Common uses include:

  • Purchasing commercial property at auction.
  • Acquiring a property ahead of the sale of another asset.
  • Refurbishment or change of use before refinancing onto a commercial mortgage.
  • Meeting a fixed completion date.
  • Raising capital against an existing commercial property.

Each transaction has different requirements, so identifying a lender whose criteria fit the property and proposed exit is an important part of arranging suitable finance.

Why Investors Use Commercial Bridging Loans

Our lenders include family offices, specialist funds and private banks with capital ready to lend. This means terms can often be agreed quickly, with completion planned around your transaction deadline. Where timing is critical, Get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Each lender takes its own view on property type, condition and exit strategy. This allows us to place mixed-use, semi-commercial and unusual assets with a lender whose criteria fit the deal.

With funding agreed before you commit, you can proceed with greater confidence, whether you are bidding at auction, purchasing ahead of another sale or moving forward with a refurbishment project.

Commercial Bridging Finance FAQs

How quickly can a commercial bridging loan complete?

Timescales depend mainly on the valuation and legal work. Commercial bridging finance is designed to move quickly, and your broker will set out a realistic timescale at the outset.

How much can I borrow?

This depends on the value and type of the property, and the strength of your exit strategy. Lenders assess the property’s market value when determining how much they are prepared to lend. Your broker can confirm what may be achievable once they understand the deal.

What is an exit strategy?

Your exit strategy is how you plan to repay the loan at the end of the term, usually by refinancing onto a commercial mortgage or selling the property. Lenders give it close attention, so we work through it with you before approaching the market.

Can I use bridging finance for semi-commercial or mixed-use property?

Yes. Several of our lenders consider semi-commercial and mixed-use property, including shops with flats above and part-let buildings. The available options will depend on the property’s details and the lender’s criteria.
