A Guide To Getting a Secured Business Loan

Secured business loans or commercial loans are designed for a wide range of small, medium and startup business needs including the buying, refinance or expansion of a business. Business loans are similar to a commercial mortgage in that money can be borrowed over an extended period of time, usually a maximum of 25 years, and are secured on the property being purchased.

A loan for a business can be secured against most types of freehold or long leasehold properties, such as factories, shops, pubs, residential care homes, guest houses, restaurants, office buildings, industrial units, apartment blocks and more. A business loan can even be secured against a residential building. The procedure is very similar to that of a commercial mortgage except that the general maximum that can be borrowed is 60% of the assessed Market Value. However, a few lenders will advance up to 75% depending upon the deal and the security offered. Interest rates on the loan are variable and depend upon the credit history of the borrower and the length of the loan.

These percentages are known as the Loan-to-Value ratio, or LTV. The lower the LTV, the lower the financial risk is to the lender. The higher the LTV, the more the risk to the lender and it is probable that a higher interest rate would be charged. Lenders will not generally advance above 75% LTV to try to make sure that there would be enough security in the case of a quick sale, often via an auction house when it is expected that property will sell at a discounted rate of up to 25% below the regular market value.
