Commercial Loans

Commercial and business loans

It’s not easy finding the right finance for your commercial investment or business and it can be tricky, time consuming and confusing. And again, you’ll probably be asked to jump through hoops.

There’s a good reason Shore Financial is the fastest growing mortgage brokerage in Australia. We’ll provide you with access to commercial and business loan solutions from leading lenders across Australia.

CALCULATORS

Find the right loan, at the right rate for your business.

Starting up or scaling up?

If you’re ready to consider a commercial or business loan, there are some key questions you need to ask yourself first:

  • Have you done your research? Is it comprehensive?
  • Have you analysed your competitors?
  • Have you evaluated your history of business performance?
  • Have you analysed your financial history and level of personal debt?
  • Are you able to provide assets as personal security?
  • Will you be using the loan for purchasing physical assets (i.e. machinery, vehicles etc)?

We’ll help you understand the loan criteria and potential risks and liabilities for both your business and you as an individual. And we’ll work with you to navigate, evaluate and understand the many different loan features and options to get the best rates and conditions that suit your circumstances and the requirements of your business.

Commercial Loans FAQs

A commercial loan is finance provided to a business or investor to purchase, refinance or develop commercial property. This can include offices, warehouses, retail spaces, or large-scale residential projects.

Commercial loans can be used for a wide range of purposes, including:

  • Purchasing or refinancing commercial property
  • Funding business expansion
  • Property development or construction
  • Buying a business or franchise
  • Equipment or fit-out finance

Commercial loans are typically used for income-producing or business-related properties. They may have different interest rates, loan terms, and assessment criteria compared to residential loans, and often require a larger deposit and more detailed financials.

This depends on the type of property, your business or investment profile, and the lender’s criteria. Generally, lenders offer up to 70–80% LVR (Loan to Value Ratio), but this can vary based on risk and security.

We can help finance a wide range of properties including:

  • Offices and office buildings
  • Warehouses and industrial units
  • Retail shops and shopping centres
  • Medical and childcare centres
  • Development sites and apartment blocks
  • Mixed-use properties

Not always. We have access to lenders that offer low doc commercial loans for self-employed applicants or investors who don’t have up-to-date tax returns, provided other criteria are met.

Terms typically range from 1 to 30 years, depending on the loan purpose and lender. Interest-only and principal & interest options are available.

Interest rates vary depending on the loan type, risk profile, and security. Fixed and variable options are available, and we’ll compare offers across our panel of over 70 lenders to find the most competitive solution for you.

Full-doc loans usually require:

  • Financial statements (or BAS for low-doc)

  • Business or personal tax returns

  • Property details and lease agreements (if applicable)

  • Personal ID and asset/liability position

We’ll tailor the documentation checklist to your loan type and lender.

We take the complexity out of commercial finance. Our experienced brokers work with over 70 lenders and understand how to structure your deal to maximise borrowing power, minimise risk, and streamline approvals.
