InterBay launches new broker guide to commercial lending

InterBay has launched a new broker guide, designed to help intermediaries build confidence in commercial and semi-commercial lending and identify opportunities within their existing client base.

As more brokers look to support clients with a wider range of property finance needs, the guide provides a practical introduction to commercial and semi-commercial lending. 

It covers everything from industry terminology and valuation approaches to underwriting considerations, owner occupier lending and the end-to-end process of placing a commercial case with InterBay.

The guide has been developed to support brokers who may be seeing increasing client interest in commercial property but have limited experience in the sector. 

Marc Callaghan, head of commercial mortgages at InterBay, said: “Many brokers are working with clients who could benefit from commercial or semi-commercial finance, but some may not yet feel confident having those conversations or placing those cases. We created Diversify the InterBay Way to make commercial lending more accessible and show that it doesn't have to be complicated.

“Whether it's a landlord considering a mixed-use property, a business owner looking to purchase their premises or an experienced investor expanding into new sectors, there are opportunities for brokers to deepen client relationships and grow their business. This guide provides a practical starting point while highlighting the specialist support available from InterBay at every stage of the journey.”
