Business Overdraft / Lines of Credit
A flexible credit facility that allows businesses to borrow up to a predetermined limit and withdraw funds as needed. Interest is paid only on the amount drawn. This type of financing is useful for managing cash flow fluctuations or unexpected expenses.
Business overdrafts can be either a short term financing solution to cover the day to day running of your business or an ongoing facility if your funding requirements regularly change. Unsecured business overdrafts differ from business loans as they do not have a set duration or repayment structure and are generally interest only.
Commercial Property Loans
Loans specifically for purchasing or refinancing commercial real estate properties, such as office buildings or industrial facilities. These loans usually have longer terms and lower interest rates compared to other business loans. These facilities can be taken out via a business entity or as an individual investor.
