What is Bridging Finance?

Some people will sell their old property before buying a new property, and most of the people want to perfectly match the date they are selling and buying.

However, in reality, many people find a dream property before they sell their existing property.

To avoid the expenses of this overlap, people could move into their new house first and apply for a bridging loan for the period before the old property is sold.

Bridging finance provides you with the funds for buying your new property before you sell your old one.

For example, if you own a property worth $800,000 with a $300,000 mortgage, and your ideal property costs $900,000, you could apply for a bridging loan for ($300,000+$900,000)-$800,000=$400,000.

This is how bridging loans work in the real estate industry, and they can apply to business purposes as well. Bridging loan can be treated as a short-term loan, loan with a loan period usually under one year.

With a bridging loan, you pay only the interest payments until your old property is sold, at which time you can pay off the principal.

Why is Bridging Loan Important to Business?

Bridging finance provides the opportunity to upgrade or purchase another property while you are trying to sell your current one.

The security is backed by the proceeds that are gained from the sale of the existing property.

This type of loan product is provided for your convenience, allowing you the freedom to purchase your next property without the burden of having to match the settlement dates of the purchasing and selling contracts.

This type of financing typically operates on a 12-month contract that sets out the terms and conditions.

The sale of the previous property should take place before the contract expiration date.

This allows the purchaser the opportunity to purchase a new property on the market without the risk of it being sold to someone else, whilst allowing a longer time frame for the purchaser to sell their old property.

Bridging loans can ease the stress of ensuring cash flows, so your business can operate smoothly. Generally, when a business is growing, it will require a large amount of funding.

Due to the long application process, before you get a loan, you will need a bridging loan to assists your business operations.

When Should You Get A Bridging Loan?

You can take a bridging loan if you want quick money for development, purchase or renovation of a property.

Property Development

In real estate, bridging loans are usually obtained by property developers to start a project while it’s permits are being debated on. Since there is no guarantee that the project will be approved, the interest rate of the loan will be higher. But, after the project has been accepted, the property developer can get the traditional property loans at lower interest rates.

Business Growth

You can also use a bridging loan if you want to continue the smooth running of your business project while you look for a more secure way of financing. You can obtain a bridging loan for your business until you find a long term sponsor for your project. Bridging loans are also obtained in auction matters. You can also choose to get a bridging loan instead of a regular loan if you have bad credit.

Capital Ventures

Bridging loans are helpful in corporate finance matters like capital ventures. You can obtain a bridging loan to ensure that your company never runs out of money. Bridging loans can also be useful when your company is in distress and you need quick and easy cash until you find a strong financier for your company.
