Your Commercial Property Finance Application
We specialise in assisting clients with their commercial development loan needs, offering comprehensive support in assembling the essential elements required for a successful application. When seeking commercial property development finance, one key strategy to increase your chances of approval is minimising the lender’s perceived risk. Achieving this entails furnishing a thorough project dossier, complete with detailed information about the project itself and the experience of your team.
A critical aspect of your financing approach involves having a well-thought-out exit strategy. While it’s common for commercial development financing to be contingent on pre-lease or pre-sale agreements, BLG stands out by extending speculative commercial development finance options for specific property types and in select geographical regions. This means that even if you don’t have pre-existing lease or sale commitments in place, you may still have access to the funding you need to bring your commercial development aspirations to life.
Our goal at BLG is to provide you with the financial resources and expertise necessary to navigate the complexities of commercial development loans successfully. By proactively addressing risk factors, offering flexible financing solutions, and considering speculative projects, we aim to be your trusted partner in realising your commercial property development ambitions.

Obtaining planning permission is a lengthy process that involves submitting an application to the local authority and meeting local government regulations. It is important to ensure that your project has been properly planned and that you meet all the necessary requirements before applying for finance.
