What is a Commercial Property Loan?

A commercial property loan finances the purchase of property your business uses or invests in, from office units and retail shops to factories and warehouses. It suits SMEs moving from renting to owning their premises, as well as business owners adding commercial real estate to their portfolio. At SingFinance, financing can cover up to 80% of the purchase price or property valuation, and the loan can often work alongside other facilities such as working capital or equipment financing when your wider borrowing position supports it.

Property Types we Finance

SingFinance provides commercial real estate financing across the main categories of commercial and industrial property in Singapore. A business real estate loan from SingFinance can fund a single unit or an addition to a property portfolio.

  • Office Units: Strata-titled offices in commercial and mixed-use buildings, suitable for companies buying their operational headquarters or holding the unit as an investment.
  • Retail Shops and Shophouses: Units in retail developments and conservation shophouses, suited to owner-occupiers running a storefront and to investors holding tenanted space.
  • Factories and Industrial Units: Light industrial, manufacturing and warehouse space. A factory loan or broader factory financing helps SMEs buy the premises they produce and store stock in, rather than renting indefinitely.
  • Working Capital: Besides purchasing property, SingFinance can release funds against your commercial property for working capital, giving your business cash to support day-to-day operations or fund its next stage of growth.

Loan Types and Repayment Structure

SingFinance offers multiple types of commercial mortgage loans so you can pick the best one that suits your business and cash flow needs.

Loan TypeHow It WorksBest Suited For

Revolving credit facilityDraw down, repay and redraw up to your approved limit.Businesses using property equity as an ongoing working-capital resource, drawing when cash flow requires and repaying when receivables come in.
Non-revolving facilityDisbursed once, and once repaid the facility closes.A defined, one-time funding need without an ongoing line.

 Besides the loan type, we also offer different ways to repay your business real estate loan.

Repayment StructureHow It WorksBest Suited For
Installment paymentCovers both the principal and the interest, so repayments are higher because they include the principal portion.Suited to businesses with stable cash flow that want to build equity in their property and reduce debt over time.
Interest-only periodCovers only the interest charged on the loan, so the principal stays unchanged during the period.Suited to businesses seeking greater short-term cash flow flexibility, such as those investing in growth or managing early-stage expenses.

To help you choose how your business mortgage loan is structured, a relationship manager will be assigned to understand your business and talk you through your options before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Commercial Property Loan

Yes. You can approach SingFinance for in-principle approval before you commit to a specific unit, which tells you how much you can borrow and strengthens your hand when you negotiate. Once you have an Option to Purchase, we finalise the loan against the actual property.

SingFinance finances office units, retail shops, and factory or industrial space with a commercial mortgage loan of up to 80% of the purchase price or valuation, over tenures of up to 25 years. The same commercial real estate mortgage can be structured as a term loan or a revolving facility (SME & corporate borrowers only).

A commercial property loan in Singapore lets an SME buy the premises it currently rents, replacing rent with installments that build ownership over time. With financing up to 80% and tenures up to 25 years, the monthly outlay can stay close to what many businesses already pay in rent.

Beyond the loan itself, budget for valuation and legal costs, and any processing or facility fee that applies to your case. SingFinance sets out every applicable fee before you sign, so there are no surprises later.

When you take up a business mortgage loan with SingFinance, you have the option to structure your financing as a term loan repaid in fixed installments, or a revolving credit facility you draw on and repay as cash flow allows. Non-revolving and interest-only repayment arrangements are also available depending on the facility, so repayment can follow your business cycle.

An early repayment or prepayment fee may apply if you settle the loan before the end of an agreed period. The exact terms are stated in your letter of offer, so you can weigh the cost of repaying early against the interest you would save.

Speak to a relationship manager for the current rate and terms that apply to your facility.

Yes. If you own commercial property with built-up equity, an equity loan lets you borrow against that value for working capital or a further purchase, subject to valuation and assessment.
