How Loan Against Property Works for Businesses
What gets assessed, what the property paperwork must show, and what to weigh before you offer an asset as security.
8 January 2026 · 7 min read
Loan against property raises finance by creating a charge on an eligible immovable asset you already own. Ownership stays with you; the institution's security interest sits over it for the life of the facility.
Two assessments, not one
The property is assessed for title, type, permitted use and value. The borrower is assessed for repayment capacity and credit conduct. Both must stand up — strong security does not substitute for cash flow.
Before you pledge
Ask how the repayment feels in a weak quarter, not an average one. Consider who else depends on the asset, and what tenure you are genuinely comfortable committing to.
