You should think carefully before securing other debts against your home because consolidating debts could increase the total amount you pay back. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

How it works
When you take out a secured business loan, you borrow a lump sum of cash against your commercial or investment property and repay it in monthly instalments (including interest) over an agreed number of years.
It has its own rate and terms, and you'll make repayments on both this and your existing mortgage (such as a buy-to-let mortgage or commercial term).
You could repay less overall
A commercial business loan has its own rate and terms so you could borrow over a shorter period than remains on your current term, which means you may pay back less in the long term compared to remortgaging.
You’ll get to keep your existing mortgage rate
If you’ve already got a good existing mortgage deal or your credit has worsened since taking out your first mortgage, remortgaging to raise the funds could mean paying a higher interest rate on the whole new mortgage. Taking out a secured business loan means you would only be paying the higher rate and extra interest on the new amount you want to borrow.
You could avoid Early Repayment Charges
If your current term has a high early repayment charge, it might be cheaper for you to take out a secured commercial loan rather than remortgaging to release equity from your property.

Common questions about secured business loans
What is a secured business loan?
Secured business loans are also known as secured commercial loans or second charge mortgages.
Unlike remortgaging, a secured business loan runs alongside (but completely separate to) your current term and is secured against the equity you have in your commercial or investment property. This is the difference between the value of your property and the amount you still owe on your first term.
Taking out a commercial secured loan means you can keep your existing deal – which could be particularly valuable if either interest rates have gone up or your credit rating has gone down. However, keep in mind that you’ll have two mortgages to pay off on the property instead of one, and both payments are equally as important.
What can I use as collateral for a business loan?
Our flexible approach means we can consider lending against commercial property of a huge range of constructions, types and uses.
- An investment or rental property
- A retail unit
- A factory or warehouse
- An office
We’ll also consider other premises such as restaurants, takeaways, hotels, day centres, leisure facilities and farms.
All mortgages are subject to our terms and conditions.
