What is bridging in finance?


A bridging loan is a short-term loan used to help you 'bridge the gap' when you want to buy something, but you're waiting for funds to become available from the sale of something else.


They are typically used by businesses in need of short-term funding. As the name suggests, bridging loans can help “bridge” a gap in a business' finances rather than be a permanent financial solution, such as the gap between a payment being due and another source of funding available to make that payment.


Do you pay a bridging loan monthly?


A bridging loan lasts for an agreed term – typically 12 months – and you'll repay whatever you've borrowed in a lump sum, as soon as you're able to. As with all loans, you'll be charged interest each month.

What is a commercial mortgage?
 
Commercial mortgages are used to buy business premises or to buy an existing business in its entirety.

Lenders generally require a deposit of around 25%-40% of the total value and mortgage terms can run for one year, up to 30 years. Obtaining a commercial mortgage is based on the ability of your business to make the repayments. You will also find that lenders will assess your business before quoting you an interest rate.  
 
They generally look at past performance, the current position and long term future plans of the business. The interest rate you will be quoted may be based on these factors and may be higher if the underwriter identifies higher risk in the proposal. You may need to provide a detailed business plan which demonstrates that you can make repayments, and a professional valuation will usually be required.
