Who’s it for?
Our commercial bridging loans are designed for investors, landlords, and developers purchasing or refinancing commercial or semi-commercial property. They’re ideal for clients needing short-term finance to acquire, stabilise, or restructure assets before moving into longer-term funding.
Application process
Submit an enquiry and we’ll issue indicative terms within hours. Once accepted, we move straight into underwriting, with valuation and legals instructed in parallel. Throughout, our team maintains clear, proactive communication to keep things moving. With the right circumstances, we can complete commercial bridging loans in as little as five to eight working days.

Some useful things to know
Do you lend on open market value?
Yes, the basis of our lending is open market value (OMV). We don’t use 180 or 90 day ‘forced sale’ valuations.
What types of commercial assets can Glenhawk use as security for the loan?
We consider a diverse range of commercial uses, including hotels, pubs, shops, nurseries, industrial units, wedding venues, large HMOs, gyms and restaurants.
Do you consider commercial assets which are currently vacant?
Yes, we can interpret our valuer's comments regarding projected rental income to consider the borrower's ability to refinance once the asset is trading.
Will Glenhawk lend when the client doesn’t have sufficient trading history?
Our clients often use our loan term to improve their accounts, restructure/renew leases, or build trading history to meet the requirements of longer-term finance lenders.
Can the borrower change the commercial use of an asset while the loan is live?
Yes, loans are available for borrowers to change the asset use, or split/merge multiple uses, and we can even support the cost of work if planning permission has been granted.
Rate based on qualifying criteria including asset class, LTV, geography, borrower profile. Typical completion time 10–15 working days, subject to valuation, legals, borrower cooperation.
