Commercial Loans โ€” Sydney

Commercial Property
Finance, Done Right.

Commercial property loans are a different beast โ€” higher LVR restrictions, different valuation methods, and lenders who specialise in sectors most brokers don't understand. We do.

How we help with commercial loans
๐Ÿข

Commercial Office Finance

Loans for office suites, commercial strata, and whole-floor commercial properties. Lenders assess commercial properties differently โ€” we know which ones offer the best terms for Sydney CBD and fringe locations.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Retail Property Loans

Finance for retail shops, strip retail, and shopping centre suites. Tenancy mix, WALE (weighted average lease expiry), and vacancy rates all affect lender appetite โ€” we navigate this for you.

๐Ÿญ

Industrial Property

Warehouses, factories, logistics facilities, and industrial strata. Strong lender appetite for industrial in current market conditions. Often lower LVR caps than residential โ€” we maximise what's available.

๐Ÿฆ

SMSF Commercial Property

SMSFs can borrow to buy commercial property through a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA). A business can even lease its premises from its own SMSF โ€” a powerful wealth strategy.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Development Finance

Construction and development lending for commercial projects. Typically requires pre-sales or pre-leasing. We work with specialist development lenders not accessible through standard broker channels.

๐Ÿ”„

Commercial Refinancing

Commercial rates can drift significantly. We conduct reviews to ensure your commercial loans remain competitive โ€” and identify opportunities to improve LVR as property values increase.

Our process
1

Property Assessment

We review the property type, tenancy, WALE, and location โ€” understanding what lenders will and won't finance before we start.

2

Lender Selection

Commercial lending varies enormously by lender. We identify who's most likely to approve โ€” and at the best terms โ€” for your specific property.

3

Application

Commercial applications are more complex than residential. We manage the process, including commercial valuations, lease reviews, and borrower financials.

4

Settlement

We coordinate settlement across your solicitor, the lender, and any existing lender being discharged.

Questions answered
What LVR can I borrow at for commercial property?
Commercial property typically attracts lower LVR limits than residential โ€” usually 65โ€“75% LVR depending on property type, location, and lender. Some specialist lenders go higher for strong properties with secure tenancies. SMSF commercial lending is typically capped at 70% LVR.
Are commercial interest rates higher than residential?
Yes. Commercial property loans generally carry higher interest rates and fees than residential loans โ€” reflecting the perceived higher risk. Rates and terms vary significantly by lender and property type. We compare across our panel to find the most competitive commercial terms available.
Can my SMSF buy commercial property?
Yes. SMSFs can borrow to purchase commercial property via a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA). Uniquely, a business operated by a fund member can lease commercial premises from the SMSF at market rent โ€” making this a powerful combined wealth and business strategy. Strict compliance requirements apply; we work alongside SMSF specialists and accountants.
Do I need a tenant in place to get commercial finance?
Not always, but it significantly helps. Lenders are more comfortable financing tenanted commercial properties โ€” especially those with long leases to creditworthy tenants. Vacant commercial property is harder to finance and typically attracts lower LVR and higher rates. We'll be upfront about what's achievable for your specific property.
