Commerical Mortgages

Flexible Financing for Business Owners and Property Investors

Commercial Mortgages in Canada

A Commercial Mortgage is a loan used to purchase, refinance, or access equity in non-residential real estate. It’s ideal for business owners, developers, and investors looking to finance properties such as:

Office
buildings
Retail plazas and storefronts
Industrial or
warehouse units
Apartment complexes
(5+ units)
Mixed-use and
multi-unit developments
Hotels or
hospitality properties

Unlike residential mortgages, commercial mortgages are secured by income-generating properties, giving lenders confidence through tangible collateral.

Commercial Mortgage Terms & Structure

Commercial mortgages can vary widely based on the property type, borrower profile, and purpose of financing

  • Term Lengths

Loan terms typically range between 1 to 10 years, with most borrowers selecting 3 to 5 years.
Shorter terms (under 2 years) are considered bridge loans, ideal for temporary financing or repositioning assets.

  • Loan-to-Value (LTV)

  • Up to 85% for stabilized multi-unit residential or strong commercial properties
  • As low as 50% for farmland or vacant land
  • Bridging a Gap

Covers the period between a property purchase and the arrangement of permanent financing.

  • Quick closing

Allows businesses to move quickly on an opportunity that requires a fast closing, sometimes within weeks.

  • Property Stabilization

Provides funds to renovate or complete a property to make it ready for a traditional mortgage.

  • Acquisitions

Helps in acquiring commercial real estate from foreclosure or taking advantage of short-term opportunities.

  • Flexible Terms

Can be used for various scenarios, such as securing a new property before selling the old one, or for land development until construction financing is secured

How to Qualify for a Commercial Mortgage

Applying for a commercial mortgage involves more documentation and due diligence than a residential one. Lenders will evaluate:

Property appraisals and environmental assessments

Lease agreements and tenant quality

Financial statements and business cash flow

Borrower net worth and credit standing

Condition and marketability of the property
