Can I get a commercial loan with Low Doc options?
Yes. Many specialist lenders in Melbourne offer "Low Doc" commercial loans for established businesses that may not have their most recent tax returns finalised. We focus on your actual cash flow and business performance to secure an approval.
What can I use a commercial loan for?
Commercial loans in Melbourne are commonly used for:
- Purchasing or refinancing commercial premises, including warehouses, offices and retail spaces.
- Funding business acquisitions or mergers.
- Working capital to manage seasonal cash flow gaps.
- Vehicle upgrades and replacements.
- Fit-outs and major equipment upgrades.
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.
