Business Mortgages

Business or commercial mortgages can be used by your company to buy premises of its own. You've maybe decided you no longer want to rent or you may be moving to a larger workspace.

You might also want to look into a business mortgage if you are wanting to release some of the equity you currently have in you existing premises. This can be a great way to fund the expansion of your business, the purchase of expensive machinery or simply to help you manage your cash flow more effectively.

Features to Look for

One feature that may be important to you is payment flexibility. Some mortgages allow you to take payment breaks, often at the start of the loan and sometimes at other points throughout the duration of the loan period. This can be invaluable if you are expanding or buying new office space as it gives time for your business to settle back down before you have the increased expense of loan payments.

Don't forget to compare the length of loans available together with the interest rate. Some interest rates may be variable while others are fixed. Bear this in mind as with a variable interest rate your monthly payments may go up as well as down. If this sounds like a potentially daunting prospect, you may want to look into fixed rate loans which may be more expensive in the short term, but will offer you security of payments from month to month.

Make sure you know what all the fees and penalty charges are before you take out a loan. Many loans will have up front charges such as arrangement and valuation fees. Make sure you know what these are and that you can afford them.

Also look for any prepayment penalties. If you can afford to make extra payments on the mortgage it could save you a lot of money in the long run. However, some mortgages have penalty charges if you make extra early payments which could end up costing you more. Make sure you know what these are before you take out the mortgage so you know what you're getting into from the word go.
