Commercial mortgage finance for new businesses

Starting a new business, expanding an existing one, or moving to new premises can be an exciting, yet daunting, time for any business owner. Arranging a domestic mortgage can be stressful enough, so where do you start with a commercial one? Here at Ascot Mortgages we pride ourselves on giving impartial advice, maximising our reputation with mortgage lenders in order to secure the best commercial mortgage deal for you. We offer an initial, no-obligation, consultation free of charge and our highly experienced commercial mortgage brokers would be delighted to take your call today.

Securing a commercial mortgage

It is often easier than you would imagine, assuming that you meet the criteria of specific lenders, which is something that we at Ascot Mortgages can help you with. It is still worth talking to us, even if your business did not make a substantial profit in the previous year, or if it is a new business with no evidence of actual profit, because we can match you to lenders who may be able to help you.

Lenders often consider your business plan, or profit, before offering you an interest rate. This could actually work to your advantage because if your numbers are good you may pay a lower rate of interest. The mortgage is usually based on the ability of your business to meet the repayments. Sometimes lenders will want to see a professional valuation of your business. Commercial mortgages are available for limited companies, sole traders and individuals.

Considering buying the commercial premises you currently have on lease

Like with domestic properties there are multiple benefits to buying, rather than renting, business premises. The money that you pay each month is an investment, it goes toward building up equity which can be re-mortgaged if needed. If you continue to rent then you have no way of re-using the money that you pay to your landlord each month.

Remortgage

Remortgaging is applied when you keep

living in your present property while applying for another mortgage deal with a new lender. Before finding out how to remortgage and get the best offers from experts like Ascot Mortgages, you have to check meeting what parameters of the deal that can help you succeed the most. The range of background factors varies a lot — from the recently changed loan-to-value ratio or your existing agreement coming to an end.

Whether you are trying to get a more beneficial deal or searching for funding to improve your home conditions, remortgaging is one of the most advantageous scenarios to consider.

Deposits required for commercial mortgages

There is a relatively low deposit (usually around 25 per cent of the property value), you also get the benefit of flexible repayment terms, depending on status, but these can extend to up to 25 years. This means that your commercial mortgage can reflect your long-term business needs and means that the monthly repayments are likely to be affordable.

Commercial mortgage finance for multiple properties

In addition some commercial mortgages are suitable for securing multiple properties, under one mortgage agreement. This means that if you are expanding your business portfolio, or are looking to add additional properties if you have different businesses, then you only need to arrange one mortgage. This can be a huge saving, both in time and money.

Moreover the ability to have multiple mortgages arranged under one mortgage agreement can be especially suitable for ‘portfolio’ landlords. It can often be difficult to arrange multiple mortgages and, once arranged, mortgages with multiple lenders can be difficult to manage.

Ascot Mortgages can arrange your commercial mortgage finance

As established commercial mortgage brokers we have a professional knowledge of the market and an excellent reputation amongst lenders, which allows us to deal efficiently with your mortgage on your behalf. We also take the hassle out of arranging the mortgage: we fill in the paperwork, we liaise with lenders and we can also assist you with your initial application. The entire process usually take 6 to 8 weeks to complete. Arranging your commercial mortgage with Ascot Mortgages could not be more straightforward, just give us a call, or fill in our call back request at the top of this page.

FAQ

Yes, you can use a commercial mortgage to refinance an existing property. However, it is important to consider whether refinancing is the best option for you as there may be other financial benefits of holding onto your current loan. For instance, if you have a fixed-rate loan, refinancing could mean losing this benefit and being exposed to increased interest rates. Additionally, there may be costs associated with refinancing such as early repayment fees or legal and administrative costs. Therefore, it is important to speak to a financial advisor before making any decisions. They can provide further advice on your individual circumstances and help you determine whether refinancing is the right choice for you.

When applying for a commercial mortgage, it’s important to understand what factors lenders consider when assessing your application. Generally speaking, lenders will assess things like:

  • Your current financial situation – this includes your income, asset value and other debts;
  • Your credit history – this helps lenders determine whether you have been able to meet your current financial obligations;
  • The location of the property – lenders may consider factors such as local market conditions and rental demand when assessing a commercial mortgage application;
  • The type of property you’re looking to purchase – this includes things like the size, condition and purpose (i.e. whether it is residential or commercial).

It’s important to note that different lenders may prioritize these factors differently and may have specific criteria unique to their lending policies. Consult us and we will provide personalised guidance and help guide you through the commercial mortgage application process.

Yes, there can be tax benefits associated with a commercial mortgage. Here are a few common tax benefits that business owners may enjoy: 

  • Mortgage Interest Deductions: Interest paid on the commercial mortgage is generally tax-deductible as a business expense. This means that the interest portion of your mortgage payments can be subtracted from your business’s taxable income, potentially reducing your overall tax liability.
  • Capital Allowances: Capital allowances allow businesses to claim tax relief on certain qualifying expenditures related to commercial property. This includes items such as fixtures, fittings, and equipment within the property. By claiming capital allowances, you can deduct a portion of the qualifying costs from your taxable profits, reducing your tax liability.
  • Depreciation: Commercial properties are subject to depreciation, which allows business owners to account for the wear and tear of the property over time. Depreciation expenses can be claimed as deductions against taxable income, reducing the amount of tax owed.
  • VAT Reclaim: If the commercial property is VAT registered, businesses may be able to reclaim the Value Added Tax (VAT) paid on the purchase price or certain costs associated with the property. VAT reclaims can result in significant tax savings for businesses.

It’s important to note that the specific tax benefits and allowances can vary based on factors such as the nature of the property, business structure, and individual circumstances. Tax laws and regulations are subject to change, so it’s advisable to consult with a qualified tax professional or accountant to understand the current tax benefits and implications associated with a commercial mortgage in your specific situation.

The approval process for a commercial mortgage typically ranges from 4 to 8 weeks, but the duration may be longer if the purchase is more complex.
