Commercial Mortgages FAQs

A commercial mortgage is used to purchase or re-mortgage property for commercial purposes. As a leading commercial mortgage broker, FC Funding’s experienced team will help you find the appropriate option for your business.

There are many options available for those looking for finance for commercial property and it’s important to choose the right option for your business. FC Funding offer a wide range of commercial property finance products and our services can be tailored to your specific requirements.

As commercial mortgages are used for business purposes, typically limited companies, SPVs, LLPs, partnerships and sole traders can apply for a commercial mortgage (although this will vary between lenders). In some circumstances, those with impaired credit and business start-ups may also be able to apply for a commercial mortgage.

Minimum loan sizes typically start at £20,000 and can range anywhere into and beyond £25 million (subject to criteria). For more information click here.
