Bridge Loan
A bridge loan (also called a swing loan) is a loan taken out for a very short period of time in order to finance a project. Bridge loans are often used in real estate to save a property from foreclosure or to close on a property quickly. Bridge loans are a means of expediting business transactions.
If a business wants a particular project accomplished quickly and a bank loan will take several months to go through, a bridge loan for a portion of the project's funding can be taken out in the meantime, to get the project underway immediately. A bridge loan is similar to a hard-money loan in its structure, though not necessarily in its uses.
While a bridge loan is used to move a business forward and mitigate delays, a hard-money loan is often used as emergency funds for the purpose of saving a failing business or property. Because they are determined by the real estate market, rather than the Bank Rate, both bridge loans and hard-money loans typically have a higher interest rate than regular bank loans, ranging between 10 and 16 percent. The length of a bridge loan can range anywhere from two or three weeks to two or three years.
