What it is

Understanding commercial mortgages.

Lender appetite, valuation, tenancy and repayment capacity all influence which providers may be relevant.

Some property finance can fall within FCA scope depending on the borrower, the property and how it is used. Where an enquiry may be regulated, we will say so and only introduce you to a provider or firm holding the appropriate permissions.

Amworth is an introducer, not a lender. Nothing on this page is advice, an offer, or an indication that finance will be available to your business.

Decision map

Whether it fits, and how it can be built.

General indicators only. Providers set their own criteria and reach their own decisions.

This may be worth exploring if…

  • The business intends to own rather than rent its premises
  • There is a property available to offer as security
  • The requirement is longer-term and repayment capacity is demonstrable

Common structures within the category

  1. 01

    Owner-occupier mortgage

    For premises the business trades from. Affordability is usually assessed against trading performance.

  2. 02

    Commercial investment mortgage

    For property let to tenants. Assessment typically focuses on rental income and lease quality.

  3. 03

    Capital raise against owned property

    Releasing funds from equity in a property already held, subject to valuation and purpose.

The provider’s perspective

What a provider wants to understand before deciding.

  • Purpose of the funding and how it supports the business
  • Trading history and turnover
  • Profitability and repayment capacity
  • Existing borrowing and commitments
  • Credit profile of the business and its directors
  • Any security available, including personal guarantees
  • Property valuation, condition and use
  • Tenancy and lease arrangements where applicable

Costs vary by provider, product, amount, term and the risk presented. We do not quote rates on this website because pricing is set by the provider following their own assessment. Some facilities are unsecured; others require security over an asset, a debenture, or a personal guarantee. Any costs, fees and security requirements are set out by the provider in writing before you commit.
