Is A Commercial Bridge Loan Right For Your Business?

A commercial bridge loan is a right choice for every business. How do you determine if your business will benefit from a bridge loan? There are a few things to consider.

However, if you need funds for one of these reasons, consider speaking with a lender:
•Close A Deal Quickly: When the real estate market is hot, you have to strike quickly, or you’ll get left out in the cold. Lining up a mortgage or long-term loan can take weeks or even longer, and by that time, you may have lost out to another buyer. If you want to purchase a commercial property fast, you can get the funds you need with a commercial bridge loan, which buys you enough time to secure another source of funding.
•Work On Your Credit: Is your credit preventing you from getting a mortgage or a bank loan? If so, making a purchase using a bridge loan may be a wise choice. If you need to make a purchase now but also need to work on your credit (i.e., paying off debt or disputing erroneous items on your credit reports), bridge loans provide you with the capital you need until you’re able to clean up your credit and obtain another loan.
•Acquire A Business: If you plan to purchase another business, time is of the essence. Instead of waiting on funding, a bridge loan can help you push the deal forward quickly.
•Renovate Your Property: If you want to improve your business to draw in new customers, a bridge loan can help you get the ball rolling on renovations sooner rather than later

Who Should Use a Hard Money Loan?

Real estate investors choose to use hard money for many different reasons. The main reason is the ability of the hard money lender to fund the loan quickly. In most situations, hard money loans can be funded within a week. Compare that to the 30 – 45 days it takes to get a bank loan funded. The application process for a hard money loan generally takes a day or two and in some cases, a loan can be approved the same day. Good luck hearing back about a loan approval from your bank within the same week!
The ability to obtain funding at a much faster rate than a bank loan is a significant advantage for a real estate investor. Especially when the real estate investor is trying to acquire a property with many competing bids, a quick close with a hard money loan will get a seller’s attention and set their offer apart from the rest of the buyers offering slow conventional financing.
Another reason a borrower may choose to use a hard money loan is that they have been rejected by the banks for a conventional loan. Life doesn’t always go as planned. Short sales, foreclosures, credit issues… they happen. Another important thing banks need to see is income history. If a potential borrower recently started a new job, the bank may deny the loan request due to insufficient income history, even if the borrower makes a healthy income. Hard money lenders are able to look past these issues as long the loan be repaid and the borrower has enough equity invested in the property.
