There comes a time in every business when the old look just doesn’t work anymore. You might feel nostalgic when you look at that faded wallpaper or 1920’s plumbing fixtures, but your customers are going elsewhere because of it. There’s a point where not upgrading is no longer saving you money; it’s costing you business. Here at iBank, we have the solution for you. Many of the lenders we can plug you into offer commercial mortgage loans for renovation and construction. If you own your property there’s no reason why you can’t get access to funding to improve it.

 

There are other reasons to upgrade through construction renovation that you might not have thought of, even if you’ve already made up your mind to do it. The plumbing system those fixtures are attached to could be more efficient. New model water heaters and heating systems use far less gas or electricity than the old ones do, and you could even upgrade to alternative energy like solar or wind if you choose. Make sure you mention that to a lender when you get towards the final stages of the loan process. There could be subsidies available if you’re making certain energy-related changes.

 

Create a solid business plan before you fill out the loan application here. If you need help developing one, browse through our website to pick up some valuable tips. Make sure you include information about your own credit history, the plans for the new construction or renovations, how you plan on promoting those changes, and present a reasonable assessment of how you plan to pay the loan back. It’s best to have more than one plan for repayment in the event things don’t go as planned.

 

“Keeping it retro” is often an excuse for not spending money on improving your business. Here at iBank.com we have the ways and means to find you a lender who can offer you a renovation construction loan to upgrade your property and buildings. Make it look nice and you’ll see an increase in the number of people who want to come to your place of business or rent those residential units.
