Why Property Financing May Be a Wise Choice

Whether you are a business owner or a private individual, the importance of owning assets will not be lost on you. Property is the quintessential asset in this regard, and a signifier of economic security to boot. But as property prices rise, it is harder than ever to buy outright. Why might property financing be the way forward?

What is Property Finance?

Property finance is a form of loan, used to invest in the development and refurbishment of properties for commercial purposes. There are many reasons for which an individual might opt for property financing, whether developing an existing block of homes into flats or converting premises into commercial lets. There is also a number of ways in which property financing can be offered.

Typically, property financing is offered in the form of a loan secured against an asset – with the asset generally being the property in question. But there are other specific processes and lenders for different situations; for example, an investor may be looking for bridging finances to ensure project completion, or seed funding to expand their portfolio via property auctions.

Acquiring New Premises

But why would a business or individual invest in property to begin with? It is already widely known that the property market is generally a safe bet for investment and growth, being a largely inflation-beating market with continually high demand. For the individual investor or business, property is a vital investment asset, that can bolster a business’ economic standing while securing long-term funds in a desirable place.

This rings true for businesses of any stripe. Any commercial enterprise looking to expand their physical presence, whether in retail or in terms of production, will benefit more in the long term from purchasing their premises than from renting them. Buying the property secures value while reducing long-term cost burdens.

Meanwhile, investment businesses looking for growth strategies can use new premises as low-risk investment tools, or as long-term returns in the form of rental agreements with domestic or commercial tenants.

Working Capital

But here is the point at which the importance of property financing itself becomes clear. Businesses may wish to fund their property investments outright but will often harm their standing in so doing. This is because of a simple accounting principle called ‘working capital’.

Working capital, simply put, is the amount of immediately-available cash a business has to fund its operations at any given moment. Without working capital, a business cannot reliably pay staff, suppliers or even tax.

Without property financing, businesses run the risk of drastically reducing their working capital and locking away their safety net in an asset. This can spell short-term cashflow issues and reduced investor trust, despite the value of the investment.

Growth

With the right approach, though, it is possible to build a portfolio of strong property investments – and to secure long-term growth in the process. Shrewd investments, and secured loans that use prior investments as leverage, enable you to expand your asset reach and diversify – giving you more of a chance to reap the benefits of the wider property market.
