A commercial loan typically uses commercial property as collateral and can be an ideal option for those looking to purchase their own business premises or build a commercial property portfolio. Commercial properties are favoured by some investors as they can generate higher returns than residential properties, along with having other benefits such as longer leases.
Commercial property loans can be more complex and costly than residential property loans. Working with a knowledgeable commercial finance lender will save you time and money.

Yard can provide commercial property loans with 20% deposit up to 80% LVR for a new purchase or a refinance of an existing loan. The deposit requirement could vary based on the location and type of property used as a security for the loan.
The key difference between a commercial property loan and a residential loan is the property type and loan objective.
Property type:
• Residential mortgages are used for financing properties where the borrower intends to reside, such as houses or apartments
• Commercial mortgages are designed for commercial properties used for business purposes, including office spaces, warehouses, retail shops, etc.
Loan objective:
• Residential Mortgages are primarily used for personal housing needs
• Commercial Mortgages are used for business purposes, such as acquiring income-generating commercial properties for investment or the borrower’s own business operations
You are required to provide a minimum of 20% deposit to obtain a commercial mortgage. If you are refinancing an existing commercial loan, you need to demonstrate that you have 20% equity in the property and the loan does not exceed 80% loan-to-value ratio (LVR).
Yard completes a serviceability test to determine how much you can borrow for a commercial property. To estimate this, we would review your income, expenses, and existing loan commitments. You also need to demonstrate that you have sufficient assets to provide a 20% deposit.
Yard can provide commercial property loans with a term of up to 30 years.
Yard can lend up to 80% LVR for a commercial property. The LVR requirements could vary based on the property type and location.
