What is a commercial loan?  

A commercial loan is specifically designed financing that enables businesses or investors to purchase or refinance commercial properties. It can cover needs including office buildings, warehouses, retail spaces, and business expansions.

Commercial loans are generally used for properties that generate income for business purposes. They usually have higher interest rates and stricter lending criteria than residential loans.

What types of commercial loans are there?

Commercial loans are structured for specific purposes. For example,

  • Commercial Mortgages: Financing for buying (or refinancing) commercial properties
  • Commercial SMSF Loans: Financing for self-managed super fund (SMSF) purchases of commercial property investments
  • Business Term Loans: Fixed loans for business expansion or major purchase (secured or unsecured)
  • Small Business Loans: Funding for small business needs such as equipment purchases, cash flow and debtor finance
  • Lines of Credit and Business Overdrafts: Revolving credit to manage cash flow
  • Development Loans: Funding for property development projects
How much can I borrow for a commercial loan? 

The amount you can borrow depends on factors including the type of property, your creditworthiness, and projected income. Typically, commercial lenders grant up to 70-80% of the property value.

Can I use my existing property as security for a commercial loan?

Yes, many borrowers use equity in their residential or other commercial properties as security to obtain a commercial loan.

What documentaton is required for a commercial loan?

Typically, you'll need financial statements, proof of income, property details, and credit history. Lenders may also require business plans or cash flow projections.

Why is ownership structure important when investing?

When investing in property, the right ownership structure is crucial for managing risk, tax obligations, and asset protection. Your ownership structure determines how you manage profits, handle liabilities, and incur tax liabilities over time.

Here's a brief breakdown of common ownership structures:

  • Individual ownership: simple structure; offers capital gains tax (CGT) exemptions for principal residences but lacks asset protection
  • Company structure: Provides asset protection by separating personal assets from company risks; offers no CGT discount
  • Trust structure: Includes family trusts and unit trusts. Offers tax flexibility and enhanced asset protection, making it popular for long-term wealth management. Complex, but allows income distribution to family members at lower tax rates.
  • Self-managed super fund (SMSF): Tax-effective for property investment to boost retirement savings. Limited to investment properties and follows strict government regulations.

Choosing the right structure depends on your personal financial situation and investment goals. Speak with a financial advisor for professional, tailored advice.
