Commercial Lending, Updated July 2026

Specialist Finance for Commercial Projects and Portfolios

Commercial lending is a different world to a home loan. Deals are assessed on the income an asset produces, the strength of tenants or pre-sales, and a clear exit, not just your salary. Leverage is lower, the documentation is heavier, and the lender panel is far wider, spanning banks, non-banks, and private funders. The right structure can be the difference between a project that stacks up and one that stalls.

RyRo Loan Centre matches each commercial deal to the lender most likely to fund it, before any application goes in. We work across three core areas that sit beside our commercial property loans: development finance, commercial SMSF lending, and property warehouse facilities.

What We Finance

Three Commercial Lending Solutions We Specialise In

Each of these deals needs a different lender and a different structure. We know which funders are active in each right now, and we build the application to match.

1. Commercial Developments

Construction finance, land subdivision, and residual stock loans for residential and commercial projects. Funded against total development cost and gross realisation, with drawdowns aligned to your build program. We arrange bank, non-bank, and private development lines depending on pre-sales, experience, and timeline.

Commercial developments, full guide →

2. Commercial SMSF Lending

Hold income-producing commercial property inside your self-managed super fund through a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement. Your business can lease its premises from the fund, and rent flows into a concessionally taxed environment. Typically funded to around 65% of value with the right lender and trust structure.

3. Commercial Property Warehouses

A property warehouse facility holds and revolves multiple assets under a single line, so active investors and buyers can acquire, hold, and recycle capital without arranging a new loan each time. We structure warehouse and portfolio facilities with non-bank and private funders sized to your pool of assets.

How It Works

How Commercial Lending Is Assessed

Deal TypeTypical LeverageKey Lender Focus
Commercial property (leased)Up to 65% to 70%Lease term, tenant strength, valuation
Owner-occupied premisesUp to 70% to 80%Business financials, trading history
Commercial developmentCost and realisation basedFeasibility, pre-sales, builder, exit
Commercial SMSF propertyUp to 65%LRBA structure, related party lease
Property warehouse facilitySized to asset poolAsset quality, liquidity, sponsor track record

Development finance is measured against total development cost and gross realisation rather than a simple loan to value ratio, so a strong feasibility and credible pre-sales matter more than any single number. We model the numbers with you first, then take the deal to the lender best placed to fund it. Use our borrowing power calculator for a quick starting point.

Sydney and NSW

Commercial Loans in Sydney and NSW

As a commercial finance broker based in Norwest, RyRo Loan Centre arranges commercial loans across Sydney and NSW: the CBD, the Hills District, Parramatta, Western Sydney, the North Shore, and regional centres. We know how commercial valuers and lenders view different Sydney markets, which matters when leverage and approval turn on the strength of the asset and its location.

Whether you are funding a development in the northwest growth corridor, buying premises for your business, or holding a commercial portfolio, we compare the bank, non-bank, and private lenders active in your market. Talk to a Sydney mortgage broker or contact us about your commercial deal.

Why RyRo

Why Commercial Borrowers Choose RyRo

We know which lenders are active by deal type

Commercial and development appetite shifts constantly. A lender that funded residual stock last year may have pulled back this year. We track who is lending right now, at what leverage, and for which deal types, so your application goes to a funder that can actually say yes.

We model the deal before you commit

The worst time to learn a project only funds at 60% of cost is after you have exchanged. We stress-test feasibility, leverage, and exit upfront so you know your equity requirement before you sign anything.

Bank, non-bank, and private access under one roof

Some deals suit a bank, some a non-bank, and some need private funding for speed. We compare all three tiers and structure the deal to the one that fits your timeline and exit, not just the cheapest headline rate.

Applications built for commercial credit desks

Commercial credit assessors want feasibility studies, tenancy schedules, quantity surveyor reports, and clean borrower profiles. We prepare all of it upfront, which reduces conditions and keeps drawdowns on time.

FAQs

Commercial Lending FAQs

What is commercial lending in Australia?
Commercial lending is finance used for income-producing property, business assets, and development projects, as distinct from a standard home loan. It covers commercial property purchases, commercial developments, property warehouse facilities, and lending inside a self-managed super fund. Lenders assess these deals on the income the asset produces, the strength of any tenants or pre-sales, the borrower or sponsor track record, and the leverage against a commercial valuation. Rates and maximum leverage differ from residential lending, and the lender panel is much wider, taking in banks, non-banks, and private lenders.
What types of commercial lending does RyRo arrange?
We focus on three areas that sit alongside our commercial property loans: commercial developments (residual stock, construction, and land subdivision finance), commercial SMSF lending (holding income-producing property inside your super fund through a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement), and commercial property warehouse facilities (a single line that holds and revolves multiple assets for active investors and buyers). We also arrange standard commercial property loans for offices, retail, industrial, and specialised assets. If your project sits across more than one of these, we structure the whole picture.
How is commercial lending different from a home loan?
Home loans are assessed mainly on your personal income and the residential value of one property. Commercial lending is assessed on the income the asset produces, the quality of tenants or pre-sales, the exit strategy, and the borrower profile. Leverage is generally lower, rates are usually higher, terms are often shorter, and the documentation is far more detailed. Approval takes longer because a commercial valuation, lease review, or feasibility check is usually required. The upside is a much wider lender panel and far more flexibility in how a deal can be structured.
Which lenders do you use for commercial lending?
We compare more than 50 lenders across three tiers. Banks offer the sharpest rates for strong, well-leased assets and experienced borrowers. Non-bank lenders take a more flexible view on income, security, and loan purpose, and move faster. Private lenders fund short-term, higher-leverage, or time-critical deals such as residual stock or bridging where speed matters more than headline rate. The right tier depends on your asset, timeline, and exit, and we match the deal to the lender most likely to say yes at the best terms available.
How much can I borrow for a commercial deal?
It depends on the asset and the structure. Standard commercial property is generally funded to 65% to 70% of value, owner-occupied premises can reach 70% to 80% with the right lender, commercial SMSF property is usually capped near 65%, and development finance is measured against total development cost and gross realisation rather than a simple loan to value ratio. Warehouse facilities are sized to the pool of assets held. We assess realistic leverage for your specific deal before you commit, so there are no surprises after you exchange or sign.
What documents do commercial lenders require?
Commercial applications need more preparation than a home loan. Common requirements include two years of business and personal tax returns for all guarantors, business financial statements, lease and tenancy schedules, a current commercial valuation ordered by the lender, and details of any existing commercial debt. For developments, add a feasibility study, fixed-price building contract, builder details, and pre-sale or lease evidence. For SMSF, add the trust deed, investment strategy, and bare trust documents. We build the full application before submission so credit assessors get everything they need in one pass.
How long does commercial lending approval take?
A standard commercial purchase or refinance usually takes 4 to 8 weeks, allowing time for the commercial valuation and legal documents. Development finance can take 6 to 12 weeks because of feasibility review, quantity surveyor reports, and pre-sale checks. Private lending for time-critical deals can settle in days to a couple of weeks. We map the timeline to your settlement or drawdown dates at the start and manage the lender so nothing stalls at the wrong moment.
Does RyRo charge fees for commercial lending?
For most bank and non-bank commercial deals we are paid by the lender on settlement, so there is no direct cost to you. Some complex private, development, or specialised transactions carry a broker fee, which we disclose in writing before you proceed so you can weigh it against the value of the structure and the lender access we provide. There are never any hidden charges. You always know the full cost before committing.
Do you arrange commercial loans in Sydney?
Yes. RyRo Loan Centre is a Sydney commercial finance broker based in Norwest, and we arrange commercial loans across the whole city and NSW, from the CBD and inner suburbs to the Hills District, Parramatta, Western Sydney, and regional centres. We understand how lenders and commercial valuers view different Sydney markets, which affects leverage and approval. We also work with clients interstate on larger commercial and development transactions.
What does a commercial finance broker do?
A commercial finance broker sits between you and the lender market. Rather than applying to one bank, we assess your deal, identify the lenders whose current appetite and policy fit it, and package the application so credit can approve it cleanly. Across commercial property, development, SMSF, and portfolio finance the right lender changes constantly, and a broker who knows the bank, non-bank, and private market can save you time, protect your credit file, and secure better terms than approaching a single lender directly.
