Sometimes we require short term loan for specific purposes. Bridging loan, often referred to as swing loan or interim financing or gap financing is sought after to bridge financial gap. Individuals demand for such loan to meet variety of purposes. The loan may be required to solve temporary financial problems in times of buying a residential or commercial property or may be used for renovation purposes.
Bridging loans are secured in nature. Therefore, some kind of significant collateral is to be provided by the borrowers in order to close the deal. Range of standard bridging loan varies from $25000 to $50000 though some lenders may provide higher amount. As this is short term loan, interest rate is not so high. Time period to repay the loan ranges from 2 weeks to 12 months but time of repayment can vary according to negotiation with the lenders.
Bridging loan can be broadly classified into two categories—open business loan and close business loan. In case of open business loan, the borrower is buying a property but contract of selling previous property is not complete yet. In case of close bridging loan, the contract of selling property is complete though there is delay in receiving the funds.
Bridging loan is easy to acquire. Moreover, processing of business loan does not involve much time as time consuming tedious verification is not required. With introduction of internet, it has become much easier to find the right lender in lesser time.

  2. Many people don’t apply for major bank bridging loans because they expect to be rejected, or have already been turned down by their bank or building society. You may be surprised though as we can accept applications from people with defaults and missed mortgage payments
