Now is the time to take Commercial Advice

Over 70 per cent of all residential mortgages in the UK are arranged through Brokers and in some sectors this figure is even greater however Business Customers are still in the main talking directly to their bank to sort out their commercial finance needs.
In the US, 80 per cent of commercial loans are arranged through brokers. In the UK, about 80 per cent of commercial loans are sold directly by lenders with only 20 per cent being arranged through Brokers.
Business Customers needing a commercial finance advice including a commercial loan or mortgage or other business finance product should find that an impartial finance broker has a lot to offer them by way of a professional service, delivering quick results and saving them time that would be better spent in their business rather than trying to source finance.
Commercial mortgage rates are rarely set in stone, unlike domestic and Buy to Let mortgages. Therefore each individual mortgage is priced to match the borrower's personal circumstances. When a business customer has establised a relationship with a bank they start taking advantage of that relationship because they know that arranging a commercial finance solution such as commercial mortgage, loan, factoring deal is time consuming and therefore they offer you a rate which has has no incentive.
If a business owner wishes to obtain the best deal in the market place then they need to commit time to researching the numerous commercial lenders that are in the market place and understanding the best source of raising business finance, understanding the terms and conditions of the product in the market together with the lenders’ processing requirements.
For Commercial property investors, it is important to consider the potential of a Business remortgage. Like residential mortgages, commercial mortgages can be refinanced to take advantage of more favourable terms, or they can be re-mortgaged to establish a line of credit to use for running the business. This is also true of other financial products such as factoring, invoice discounting as well. This will allow businesses to increase their margins by reducing their finance costs, and could allow further profit for further investment. This can also offer business clients a way to gain independence from their bank, separating debt from day to day banking arrangements.
If you were to take advantage of the services of an impartial finance broker who does not charge a separate broker fee for their services then you are in a position where you can not lose as you have a whole range of options that open up for you and you are not paying any extra for this service. The broker will be able to best place your business and will often be able to beat any offer from your bank and save you a considerable amount of money. Also the broker will not get paid until your deal is completed giving them a strong incentive to find the best deal for you and at no cost to you as the broker earns their fee from the lender whilst working for you!

Good news - Changes to Consumer Credit Act

Following the recent changes to the Consumer Credit Act the £25,000 loan amount limit (applicable under the Consumer Credit Act 1974) was removed as changes from the Consumer Credit Act 2006 came into force. This means that any secured loan funded must be subject to the new Consumer Credit Act regulation meaning the removal of mortgage style redemption penalties and tie in periods. All loans irrespective of amount will now be subject to 28 days notice and 1 month’s interest on redemption at any point throughout the term of the loan.
This is certainly good news in terms for individuals where a secured loan is a suitable option where an individual is in a penalty period and it is not feasible to remortgage then a secured loan can be a genuine alternative.
