SMSF Commercial Loan
Tailored for individuals using a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) to purchase commercial property as part of their retirement strategy.
Lease Doc Loan

Specialized Finance
For unique property types or non-standard situations, such as hospitality venues, medical centers, or rural properties.
Benefits of Commercial Property Loans
- Wealth Creation: Commercial properties often yield higher returns compared to residential investments.
- Business Growth: Owning your premises can provide stability and potential cost savings over leasing.
- Tax Advantages: Interest payments on commercial loans may be tax-deductible (consult your tax adviser).
- Flexibility: Wide range of loan products tailored to meet diverse investment or business needs.
- Equity Building: As the property value increases, you can leverage the equity for further investments.
Challenges to Consider
- Higher Deposit Requirements: Commercial loans often require a deposit of 20% to 30%, depending on the lender and property type.
- Stricter Lending Criteria: Lenders assess factors such as property type, location, and lease terms more rigorously.
- Market Volatility: Commercial property values and rental demand can fluctuate based on economic conditions.
- Higher Interest Rates: Interest rates for commercial loans are generally higher than residential loans.
- Complex Loan Structures: Understanding terms like interest-only periods, balloon payments, or cross-collateralization can be daunting without expert guidance.
