💡 What Is a Commercial Bridging Loan?

  • Bridge the gap before long-term commercial finance is arranged
     

🏗️ 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
     

⏱️ Why Use a Bridging Loan?

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

  • Flexible terms tailored to your exit strategy

We’ll walk you through it all so there are no surprises.
