Inside this practice line
5 pages- Commercial property loan
Commercial property, priced before you sign the contract.
Industrial, retail, office — investment or owner-occupier. The lender shortlist depends on the asset, the tenant, and the entity. We price across the panel before any application goes in.
Explore→ - SMSF commercial loan
Commercial inside super — structured, not patched.
Limited recourse borrowing arrangement, bare trust, business real property — the structure the ATO, your accountant, and your lender want to see. The lender shortlist is short. We know it cold.
Explore→ - Commercial construction loan
Construction financed properly — drawdowns to take-out.
Owner-occupier builds, commercial development, build-to-rent. The drawdown schedule, the QS report, the take-out — engineered as a sequence, not a single loan.
Explore→ - Low doc commercial
Self-employed, recently — and still creditworthy.
Low doc commercial loans for borrowers without two years of tax returns. Accountant-declaration files, BAS-verified files, and the non-bank lenders that price them sensibly.
Explore→ - Lease doc
Servicing read from the lease — not from your tax returns.
Lease-doc commercial loans assess affordability off the rental income alone. No personal financials, no BAS, no tax returns — just the lease, the tenant covenant, and a sensible LVR.

Commercial credit is not residential credit
What we look at on a commercial file
Every commercial deal — investment, owner-occupier, SMSF, construction — gets pressure-tested on these points before a lender is approached.
- Borrower entity and tax structure. Trust, company, SMSF, individual — each lender has different appetite and different LVR caps.
- Asset class and location. Industrial in a growth corridor reads differently to retail on a regional main street, even at the same yield.
- Tenant covenant and lease shape. WALE, options, rent reviews, guarantees — investment-grade tenants unlock sharper pricing and higher LVR.
- Serviceability evidence. Full-doc, low-doc, or lease-doc — the file we choose drives the lender shortlist and the rate.
- Exit. Refinance, sale, or maturity. Lenders price longer-term confidence into the rate from day one.
Why broker beats bank on commercial
On commercial files, the gap between broker and branch widens. Here's why.
| Consideration | With us | Direct with a bank |
|---|---|---|
| Lender shortlist | Major banks, second-tier banks, non-banks, specialist lenders — priced against your specific file. | The bank you walked into, on policy that may not fit your asset class. |
| Knowing who's hungry | Lender appetite shifts monthly. We know who's chasing retail, who's pulled back on construction, who's pricing sharply on SMSF this quarter. | Whatever the credit team is told to do this month. |
| Structuring | We write the file with the credit officer in mind. Cover sheet, summary, exit, the lot. | A relationship manager who hands it to credit cold. |
| Negotiation | Indicative rate, line fee, covenants, valuation cost, review period — all negotiated before settlement. | Take the term sheet as offered. |
Our commercial file process
From scoping call to settlement, the order rarely changes.
01
Day 1
Scoping call
Deal shape, entity, indicative numbers, lender shortlist. We tell you whether the deal will get up before you spend a dollar on due diligence.
02
Week 1
Indicative term sheet
We approach two or three lenders informally, get indicative pricing back. You decide which to progress.
03
Weeks 2–3
Full application
Financials, leases, asset details, exit. Submitted with a written summary the credit officer can act on.
04
Weeks 3–6
Conditional approval and valuation
We chase the valuer, manage the conditions, push for unconditional. Most commercial files unconditional in 3–6 weeks from full submission.
05
Settlement
Settlement
Solicitors, the bank's docs, your accountant. We coordinate so settlement happens on the date the contract demands.
