OWNER OCCUPIED COMMERCIAL MORTGAGES
An Owner-Occupied Commercial Mortgage is a loan for business owners to buy or refinance property used primarily for business operations. Ideal for small to medium-sized businesses, it allows owners to invest in their premises, whether offices, shops, or industrial units.
The loan is secured against the property, with terms based on the business's financial health and the owner's credit history. These mortgages often offer more favourable rates and terms than traditional commercial loans, as the owner's engagement in the property typically indicates a lower risk.
