FINANCE OPTIONS FOR BUSINESSES
Commercial Property Lending
Commercial property finance can be used to purchase, refinance or restructure lending over shops, offices, warehouses, industrial buildings, mixed-use premises and other business-related properties. Some clients are purchasing premises for their own business, while others are buying commercial property as an investment.
Commercial property lending is assessed differently from standard residential mortgage lending. Lenders may consider the property type, lease terms, tenant quality, rental income, business financials, equity contribution, location, valuation, loan-to-value ratio and the borrower’s wider financial position.
Mortgage IQ helps business owners and investors understand these requirements before approaching lenders. We can help prepare the information needed, compare suitable options and explain what lenders are likely to focus on during assessment.

Business Finance For Growth And Stability
Business finance can be used for a wide range of purposes, including expansion, stock, working capital, cash flow management, business acquisition, fit-outs, refinancing or general operational needs. The best lending option depends on the purpose of the funds and the financial strength of the business.
Some businesses need short-term support to manage timing gaps between income and expenses. Others need longer-term funding to invest in growth. In either case, the structure needs to be practical and clearly linked to the business goal.
Good cash flow planning is especially important when taking on business debt. For general business planning guidance, Business.govt.nz has helpful information on cash flow forecasting and business resilience. This can be useful when preparing for lender conversations and reviewing how new borrowing may affect your day-to-day operations.
Asset-Backed Funding
Asset-backed funding can help businesses purchase or refinance vehicles, machinery, plant, equipment or other business assets
This type of finance is often linked directly to the asset being funded, which can make it useful for businesses that rely on equipment to operate or grow.
For trades, transport companies, construction businesses, manufacturers, agricultural businesses and service providers, asset-backed funding may help preserve working capital while still allowing the business to access the tools, vehicles or equipment it needs.
