Who’s it for?
Commercial bridging loans are designed for investors, landlords, and business owners who need short-term funding for commercial or semi-commercial properties. They’re a good fit if you are:
- Buying a commercial property such as a shop, office, industrial unit, or leisure facility.
- Refinancing a property to release capital or restructure existing finance.
- Purchasing at auction, where speed is essential.
- Changing the use of a property (for example, converting an office to another commercial purpose, or splitting/merging uses).

Some useful things to know
What types of commercial properties do you lend against?
We consider a wide range, including shops, offices, industrial units, hotels, pubs, restaurants, and large HMOs.
Can I use a commercial bridging loan to buy at auction?
Yes. Bridging loans are well-suited to auction purchases, as they can be arranged quickly to meet the typical 28-day completion deadline.
Do you lend to limited companies, partnerships, or individuals?
Yes, we can lend to individuals, limited companies, and other structures.
What’s the difference between a commercial bridging loan and a mortgage?
A mortgage is long-term finance, often with stricter criteria and slower approval. A bridging loan is short-term and designed to provide fast, flexible access to capital until you refinance, sell, or stabilise the property.
