🏗️ Typical Uses Include:

  • Buying offices, retail, warehouses, or mixed-use buildings

  • Converting commercial buildings into residential units (with planning)

  • Property investment ahead of refinance or sale

  • Urgent capital for business growth or debt restructuring

  • Fast access to funding — often within 7–21 days
