Commercial office buildings used as collateral for a loan against property

Turn Property Into Growth Capital

A loan against property (LAP) lets a business owner raise substantial, longer-tenor funding by offering residential, commercial or industrial property as security. Because the loan is secured, it is typically priced below unsecured credit and can support large business funding needs — expansion, working capital, debt consolidation or a strategic purchase.

Lenders usually advance a portion of the property's assessed market value; the ratio varies by lender, property type, location and borrower profile. Title quality, valuation and the borrower's ability to service the loan from business cash flow decide the outcome as much as the property itself.

The property secures the loan, but the business repays it. Lenders look at both.

LAP Structures

01

Business LAP

Term funding against owned property for expansion, capex or general business purposes.

02

Commercial & industrial property

Funding against shops, offices, warehouses, factory land and buildings.

03

Lease rental discounting (LRD)

Borrowing against contracted rent from leased commercial property.

04

Overdraft against property

A revolving limit secured by property for fluctuating requirements.

05

Balance transfer & top-up

Moving an existing LAP to better terms, with additional funding where eligible.

06

Debt consolidation

Replacing several costlier facilities with one secured, longer-tenor loan.

LAP Works Well When…

  • You own property with clear, marketable title
  • The requirement is large or needs a longer tenor
  • Business cash flow can comfortably service the EMI
  • You want lower pricing than unsecured credit
  • Existing high-cost debt could be consolidated
  • Rental income exists that can be discounted

Key Considerations

Title is everything

Gaps in the chain of title or approvals are the most common cause of delay or rejection.

Loan-to-value varies

Residential, commercial and industrial property are valued and funded differently.

Floating versus fixed

Understand how rate resets affect the EMI over a long tenor.

End-use matters

Lenders ask what the funds are for and may restrict certain uses.

Prepayment & foreclosure terms

Check charges before signing, especially for business borrowers.

The property is at risk

Default can lead to enforcement against the property. Borrow what the business can service.
