Commercial Lending Strategic Capital Advisory for Business & Property

Commercial lending is a capital decision — not a product choice

Book Consultation

Commercial Lending

Benchmark Mortgages partners with business owners and investors to design, structure and secure commercial funding that supports growth, balance sheet resilience and long-term financial strategy. 
 
We don’t present lenders with applications.

We present capital narratives that align with how credit is assessed and approved.

Capital Perspective

Traditional lending pages talk about products.
 
We talk about financial architecture.
 

Our focus is on ensuring that capital supports strategy — not constrains it.

We help clients understand how commercial facilities interact with:

Business performance
Cashflow variability
Security structure
Entity architecture
Covenant exposure
Refinance risk

Who We Work With

Our clients typically include:
  • Business owners scaling operations 
  • Commercial property investors 
  • Multi-entity ownership structures 
  • Professional service firms 
  • Trusts and family offices
They engage us when funding becomes multi-dimensional — when cashflow, security, balance sheets and growth intersect.

What We Advise On

Commercial Property Capital

  • Acquisition and portfolio expansion
  • Refinance and liability restructuring
  • Strategic equity extraction
  • Balance sheet optimisation

Business & Corporate Facilities

  • Term and structured lending
  • Working capital solutions
  • Asset-backed financing
  • Tailored cashflow support structures

Alternative & Specialist Funding

  • Where traditional credit policy creates constraints, we structure alternatives with reputable lenders that align with the broader capital plan.

Our Advisory Process

We don’t start with lenders.  We start with strategy.

01

Discovery & Financial Architecture

We analyse balance sheets, cashflow, entity structure and strategic intent.

02

Structure Design

We model funder-ready capital frameworks and present options aligned with credit logic

01

Lender Positioning

We determine the most appropriate funding channels — commercial bank, specialist division or alternative capital partner.

01

Execution & Settlement

We negotiate terms, refine commercial outcomes and manage the process through to drawdown

How We Are Different:

We think in capital outcomes — not products
We structure solutions that reflect how banks actually assess credit
We coordinate accountants, valuers and legal advisers
We support presentations that make underwriting straightforward
We manage negotiations and execution end-to-end
This is advisory — not transactional. 
 
Regulatory & Professional Framework

Why This Matters:

A facility that works today may not work tomorrow. 
 
Without strategic capital planning: 
 
Covenant pressure can materialise unseen 
 
Security allocation can limit growth 
 
Liquidity can be inadvertently constrained 
 
Refinance risk may surface at the worst time 
 

Our job is to anticipate these outcomes and design capital that remains durable.
