How Commercial Bridge Loans Work
Commercial bridge loans are short-term financing solutions designed to help businesses, real estate investors, and developers manage immediate financial needs while waiting for permanent funding. These loans "bridge the gap" between a current financial requirement—such as purchasing property, refinancing debt, or funding renovations—and securing long-term financing.
Unlike traditional bank loans, which often take months to process, commercial bridge loans are structured for speed and flexibility. They are typically secured by real estate and offer terms ranging from six months to three years. Borrowers use them to take advantage of time-sensitive opportunities, maintain cash flow, or prevent financial setbacks caused by funding delays.
Key Features of Commercial Bridge Loans
