Short term commercial finance
Short term commercial finance can be used in an emergency or when funds are needed urgently.

You may also be need cash out from a commercial property to pay the deposit on another property until you can get longer term finance.
A major problem with normal commercial property finance is that it is slow to be approved because it relies on a valuation to be performed, which can take several days. Normal commercial property lenders can also take a long time to assess your loan. If you don't have time for this then you may need to use a short term commercial loan. Some short term commercial lenders use alternative methods to to value a property such as an internal desktop valuation or other ways that do not require them to wait for the valuation report from a valuer.
Settlement can be within 48 hours if all of the criteria are met.
The biggest drawback is the cost of short term business loans, which can be very expensive. Short term lenders typically charge by the month with rates from 3% to 8%+ per month and the establishment fee can also be expensive. You had better have a good reason for using this type of short term business finance.
