Why Choose Our Commercial Loan Service?

At Loanworx, we know that commercial lending is about more than just ticking boxes on a form. It’s about understanding how your business really works — your cash flow, your growth plans, your risks — and structuring commercial loans Melbourne around that reality.

We take the time to understand what stage your business is at, what you’re trying to achieve over the next three to five years, how much flexibility you need and what security you have now (and after the purchase). From there, we help you design a finance strategy that supports your plans rather than holding you back.

What Sets Us Apart?

  • Commercial finance experience across a wide range of industries and business sizes
  • A “bigger picture” view that looks at business performance, security and cash flow together
  • Options for buying your own premises, investing, refinancing or funding growth
  • Access to major banks and specialist commercial lenders, not just one or two
  • Guidance on cash flow impact, loan terms and repayment options in plain English
  • Ability to work with your accountant and adviser so everyone is on the same page

If your plans also involve your personal lending, our Home Loans team can help you see how everything fits together across your business and home finances.

Why It Might Be Time to Look at Commercial Loans

Many business owners and investors come to us for commercial loans in Melbourne at key turning points in their business or investment journey.

Common reasons include:

  • Wanting to stop renting and buy your own premises
  • Refinancing existing commercial loans to improve cash flow or terms
  • Purchasing an additional commercial property as an investment
  • Funding a development, expansion or fit-out
  • Buying into or buying out a business partner
  • Securing working capital or a cash flow buffer

Deciding to move from renting to owning your own commercial property is often one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make for your business. The right loan structure can make that decision work much better for your cash flow and long-term plans.

Why Act Now?

Planning your commercial finance early can make major decisions much easier. Understanding your borrowing capacity, likely terms and key conditions upfront helps you avoid surprises later and puts you in a stronger position when an opportunity appears.

By acting now, you can review your existing loans, explore options to improve your structure, and be ready to move when the right property or business opportunity comes along. You’ll also have a clearer view of how repayments, fit-out costs, GST, duty and other expenses fit into your broader cash flow.

If you’d like to get a rough feel for numbers before we speak, you can use the tools on our Financial Calculators Australia page, then we’ll walk through the details together based on your actual situation.

Things You Should Know About Commercial Loans Melbourne

Commercial loans in Melbourne can help you grow, stabilise or reposition your business — but, like any major finance decision, it’s important to understand the upside and the things to watch.

Potential Benefits:

  • Move from renting to owning your premises and build long-term equity
  • Restructure existing commercial debt to improve cash flow and flexibility
  • Use tailored terms and repayment options to better match your business cycle
  • Invest in commercial property as part of a broader wealth strategy
  • Combine property, fit-out and equipment funding into a clear plan

Things to Watch:

  • Lower loan-to-value ratios (LVRs) and different terms compared with home loans
  • The impact of GST, land transfer duty and other government charges on total costs
  • Cash flow risk if repayments are too tight or if income drops temporarily
  • Additional information and documentation required for some lenders and loan types
  • The need to factor in fit-out, professional advice and due diligence costs

For general information about how GST applies to commercial property, you can refer to the ATO’s guide on GST and commercial property. For land transfer (stamp) duty in Victoria, the State Revenue Office Victoria explains current rules and calculators.

Always speak with your accountant and legal adviser for advice specific to your situation.

Banks and Lenders

It’s important to us that we offer a wide range of lender options when we talk about commercial loans Melbourne. With access to major banks and a broad panel of specialist commercial lenders, we can compare your current bank against other options and tailor a structure that works for your cash flow, security and long-term strategy — not just the bank’s default settings.

If your purchase also involves new machinery, vehicles or other income-producing assets, we can look at Vehicle and Eqipment Finance alongside your commercial property loan so everything works together.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can commercial loans in Melbourne be used for?

Commercial loans can be used for buying your own premises, investing in commercial property, refinancing existing business debt, funding fit-outs, purchasing a business, or supporting working capital and cash flow. We’ll help you match the right loan type to your specific goal.

How much can I borrow for a commercial property or business purchase?

Your borrowing capacity depends on business performance, existing debts, proposed security, lease income (if any) and how lenders view your industry and risk profile. We’ll run the numbers upfront so you know what’s realistic before you commit.

Are commercial loan terms different from home loans?

Yes. Commercial loans often have lower LVRs, different terms and conditions, and may be assessed differently across lenders. We’ll explain how this affects equity, repayments and risk for your situation.

Can I keep my existing bank and still get a commercial loan?

In many cases, yes. Some structures allow you to keep your everyday banking where it is while using another lender for your commercial loan. We’ll explain the pros and cons of staying with your current bank versus moving.

Do I need an accountant or lawyer involved?

For most commercial purchases and restructures, having an accountant and a lawyer involved is strongly recommended. We’re happy to work with your existing advisers or, if you don’t have them in place, connect you with trusted professionals.
