Mortgages and loans for retail businesses

"Intelligent customers know to shop here"

We understand that a retail business is often a high-volume turnover business, with lower margins and good returns on capital and rent. Our proposals outline the potential for excellent returns in the retail sector, making your mortgage application attractive to a variety of lenders.

Main Features

The terms of a commercial loan against a retail business vary considerably from lender to lender but, as a general rule, the following will apply:

  • 60% - 70% loan to business value ratio
  • 15-30 year mortgage term

We are experienced in offering financial solutions for purchases, remortgages, debt consolidation, capital raising (extensions) and cash injections across the retail sector.

Factors Affecting Your Loan Application

There are a number of factors which can help to make your application more attractive to a lender:

  • A deposit of 30% or more
  • Additional security
  • Business plan
  • Proof of experience
  • Good credit history
  • Two years' trading accounts or strong income projections
  • Strong proposal from Christie Finance

When assessing a retail mortgage application, any lender will also have to take into account the following:

  • Good trading location
  • The quality of the operator or tenant; preferential rates will be more achievable if occupied by a reputable retailer
  • The nature of your business – convenience stores, CTNs, post offices and off-licences
