Pub Finance

Pub mortgage and finance for experienced operators

Running a successful pub takes a particular set of skills. If you’ve managed a public house for a minimum of two to three years, you may have the experience and knowledge necessary to qualify as a lower risk investee in the eyes of potential lenders.

Simply having worked in a pub won’t count in the same way unfortunately, although lenders may be more inclined to invest in someone with relevant sector experience. It takes hands-on public house ownership and management to achieve the most competitive rates.

That’s not all it takes though. Using the services of a specialist finance broker when applying for a pub mortgage or re-finance solution can make the difference between a good value loan and the best possible loan on the market.

Why re-finance a pub?

Restructuring pub finance can enable a range of business objectives, including the purchase of a new public house or the re-mortgage of an existing one, raising capital for extending or improving pub premises or consolidating debt.

Here are just a few of the options:

Reduce monthly payments – Re-financing a pub mortgage can lower your monthly payments, either by changing the loan’s interest rate, or by altering the term to maturity of the loan.

Reduce risk – Another use of pub re-finance is to reduce the risk associated with an existing loan. Re-financing an adjustable-rate pub mortgage into a fixed-rate one lowers the risk of rising interest rates.

Re-finance personal debt – Re-financing a pub loan can assist in paying off high-interest debt such as credit card debt, with lower-interest debt such as that of a fixed-rate home mortgage. With a clearer picture of your general credit worthiness, lenders can offer lower borrowing rates.

Why use a broker for pub finance?

Commercial loans against a public house vary considerably from lender to lender but as a general rule, freehold pub mortgages consist of a 15-20 year term.

At Stewart Hindley, we are experienced in offering financial solutions for all the public house re-financing needs listed above and more, with the ability to offer pub loans for leasehold businesses to cover a short-term lease of up to 35 years.
