Commercial property loans in Revesby
From engineering workshops to Marco Avenue shopfronts, we get you funded
We work with the trade and engineering businesses that operate around Revesby and Milperra: fabricators, machinists, transport and logistics operators, joiners and suppliers, plus the families who own the buildings they work from. We structure the application around how the income and the ownership actually sit, which in a long-held family business is rarely simple, and take it to lenders who will work with that rather than around it.

Specialist commercial finance for Revesby
Long-held property brings its own questions, and they are common ones here. The Revesby purchases and refinances we work on include:
- Owner-occupier commercial property purchase
- Investment commercial property and landlord finance
- SMSF commercial property under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement
- Commercial construction and development finance
- Commercial property refinance and equity release
A lot of Revesby property has been owned for decades, often through an entity set up for a business that has changed considerably since. Sorting out who owns what, and through which structure, is usually the piece of work that gets the finance moving.

Property types
How each Revesby purchase is assessed
Buying in, buying out and holding on are three different pieces of finance. Below is how each Revesby situation actually reads to a lender, and the suburbs we cover around it.
Buying the premises you occupy
The most common purchase here is a business buying the building it has worked from for years, often from a landlord who is retiring. The loan is serviced by trading cash flow, so a lender reads your accounts as closely as the building, and standard industrial security reaches up to 80% of value.
Occupying the property already helps the file. The lender can see the business has operated from the site profitably, which answers most of what a credit team wants to know about whether the premises suit the operation.
- Standard industrial security reaches up to 80% of value with full financials
- Up to 100% of the purchase price is achievable where you add equity from a property you already own
- Alt-doc is available on BAS and an accountant's declaration where recent accounts are not ready
- Terms run 25 to 30 years with non-bank lenders, against the 10 to 15 the major banks commonly publish
- Prepare two years of financials, tax returns, ATO portals and your entity or trust deed
- GST usually applies unless the sale qualifies as a going concern with tenants in place
Succession and buying out a co-owner
When a family business passes down or a partner exits, the property usually has to move as well, and that is finance rather than paperwork. Buying out a sibling's share, transferring a building from one entity to another, or bringing the next generation onto the title all need funding and all have duty and tax consequences.
Settle the structure before the finance. Which entity ends up holding the property changes what a lender can do, what duty is payable, and who has to guarantee what. We work through that with your accountant first, because arranging the loan around a structure that then changes means doing it twice.
- Funding a buy-out of a co-owner's share is a refinance of the whole property, not a part-purchase
- Which entity holds the title changes the lender list, the duty position and the guarantees required
- Transfers between related parties are assessed on market value, not on what is agreed between family
- Duty and any capital gains position should be confirmed with your accountant before anything is signed
- Prepare the current title, the entity documents and recent financials for every entity involved
- Where a business is being handed over as well, the trading history transfers with it and supports the file
Engineering and workshop buildings
The working stock in Revesby is heavier than its size suggests: fabrication shops with gantry cranes, machine shops with reinforced floors, spray and blast facilities and transport yards. Those features are what a valuer prices and what a credit team weighs.
Older engineering sites can also carry an environmental record, particularly where there has been fuel storage, blasting or plating. Where that shows up some lenders will want a Preliminary Site Investigation and others will not take the site, so we establish it before an application is lodged.
- Crane rail, gantry capacity, floor loading and three-phase power all feed the valuation
- Fixed plant is generally valued with the building; loose plant is financed separately
- A site history involving fuel, blasting or plating narrows the lender list rather than closing it
- A Preliminary Site Investigation may be required, and we tell you who will still proceed with one on file
- Provide the survey plan, current consent, any site reports and a schedule of fixed plant
- Where a site is genuinely unsuitable as security we will tell you plainly and early
Holding the building after you sell the business
A common outcome here is the family sells or hands over the trading business but keeps the property, leasing it back to the new operator. That converts an owner-occupier loan into an investment loan, and it is assessed completely differently from that day forward.
The loan is then priced off the lease: net passing rent, the strength of the new operator as a covenant and the term you have agreed. A properly documented lease at market rent, signed before settlement, keeps this straightforward.
- Priced on net passing rent, the tenant covenant and the weighted average lease expiry
- A written lease at market rent, in place before settlement, is what the lender assesses
- A new operator with no trading history is a weaker covenant, and a longer term or a guarantee helps
- Lease doc lending runs 65% to 75% and steps down as the loan size rises
- Full doc lending against the same security reaches up to 80%
- Provide the lease, the rent schedule, outgoings and the incoming operator's details
Resetting a long-held loan
Decades of ownership means substantial equity, and often a loan structure set up long ago that no longer suits. A refinance resets the term, releases capital for plant or a second site, and can consolidate facilities that have accumulated over the years.
Where the property is held in an older trust or company, check the deed and the officeholders before an application goes in. Out-of-date documents are one of the most common reasons a straightforward refinance takes longer than it needs to.
- Release equity to fund plant, a second site, working capital or a change in ownership
- Move from a bank term of 10 to 15 years to a non-bank term of 25 to 30 to reset the repayment
- Confirm the trust deed and current officeholders with your solicitor before lodging, not after
- Consolidate a commercial loan and a business facility into one structure with one review date
- Prepare recent financials, current loan statements, the lease and a rates notice
- Break costs on a fixed facility are worth checking before anything is lodged
SMSF commercial property in Revesby
Yes, a fund can buy Revesby industrial property, and we arrange these. It is also one of the more intricate purchases in commercial finance, and the detail is what decides whether it works. The fund borrows under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement, the property sits in a separate holding trust, and the lender can only come after that one property.
We know this sounds complicated, and we can assist to make things clearer. We structure the finance, tell you which lenders will take a Revesby industrial property as SMSF security and on what terms, and bring in the SMSF specialists and licensed advisers who set the fund side up. You will not be working it out on your own.
- From 10 August 2026 a new arrangement can only be used for business real property: a property used wholly in a business generally qualifies, a property with a residence attached generally does not
- Your operating company leases the property back from the fund, in writing, at market rent supported by an independent appraisal, and the rent has to actually be paid
- Cross-collateralisation is not available inside super, so the fund needs its own deposit and the 100% LVR structures described elsewhere on this page do not work here
- Standard commercial security inside a fund is generally available to 65% to 80% of the lender's valuation, with cash left in the fund after settlement
- The arrangement funds a single asset, so fit-out, plant and goodwill are financed separately outside the fund
- The bare trust has to exist before contracts are signed, and in NSW the deed is executed after the contract, by the bare trust trustee rather than the fund trustee

Frequently asked questions
What does local knowledge of Revesby bring to a commercial loan?
It helps to work with a broker who knows the area well. Property here is long-held and often family-held, so the questions are usually about ownership and structure as much as about the building. Ardent Capital Group is a Sydney commercial mortgage broker based on Clarence Street, arranging finance in Revesby and nationally.
Can the whole thing be arranged without us coming to you?
Yes. We work across the Canterbury-Bankstown pockets and the surrounding suburbs, including Milperra, Padstow, Condell Park, Bankstown and Chipping Norton. Most of the process runs by phone, email and video, and we come to site when it helps.
What kinds of property do you actually lend against here?
We cover the full range: engineering and fabrication workshops, warehouses and factories, transport yards, service commercial and trade suppliers, and tenanted investment stock. Lender appetite differs across all of them, which is why we match the property to the lenders that write it.
We are selling the business but keeping the building. What changes?
The loan becomes an investment loan from settlement, assessed on the lease rather than on your trading accounts. That means a written lease at market rent, signed before settlement, and a covenant the lender can weigh. A new operator with no trading history is weaker, so a longer term or a guarantee helps. We set the finance up around the lease rather than the other way round.
Can we put this property in our SMSF?
Yes, it is possible, and we arrange these. It is also one of the more intricate purchases in commercial finance, and the detail is what decides whether it works. The fund borrows under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement, so the property sits in a separate holding trust and the lender can only come after that one property. From 10 August 2026 a new arrangement can only be used for business real property: a property used wholly in a business generally qualifies, a property with a residence attached generally does not. Your operating company leases the property back from the fund, in writing, at market rent supported by an independent appraisal, and the rent has to actually be paid. Cross-collateralisation is not available inside super, so the fund needs its own deposit and the 100% LVR structures described elsewhere on this page do not work here. Standard commercial security inside a fund is generally available to 65% to 80% of the lender's valuation, with cash left in the fund after settlement. We know this sounds complicated, and we can assist to make things clearer. Reach out to our team and we will guide you through the entire process. We structure the finance, tell you which lenders will take a Revesby industrial property as SMSF security and on what terms, and bring in the SMSF specialists and licensed advisers who set the fund side up. You will not be working it out on your own. Get that right and it is a solid, compliant structure. Our business real property page sets out what that test requires and the situations that decide it.
We exchange in six weeks. Is that enough time?
A straightforward owner-occupier purchase with clean financials usually settles in four to six weeks, and can be as quick as two weeks where the documentation is ready at the start. Related-party transfers, SMSF and sites needing an environmental report take longer. We give you a realistic timeline for your specific property before you commit to an exchange date.
Our bank said no. Is that the end of it?
Often not. A decline from one lender does not mean the deal is not fundable, and on a family-owned property it frequently means the ownership structure did not fit that lender's policy. Non-bank and specialist commercial lenders take a different view on entities, related parties and income presentation. We will give you a straight assessment before proceeding.
What makes Ardent Capital Group different here?
Ardent Capital Group brings the same method to every client: execution and strategy, clear advice for smart lending, and long-term growth. That means the right lender, structure and timing, straight advice so you borrow with confidence, and today's deal built toward where you want to be tomorrow. We are specialists in helping business owners secure finance to purchase their own property, and we understand the complex structures that often sit around it, including multiple trusts, holding companies and self-managed super funds. In Revesby that method earns its keep on ownership and structure. Long-held family property throws up entity questions that stall a file, and we work those through with your accountant before an application is lodged rather than after. We have facilitated more than 1,000 commercial and residential mortgages and funded over $2B. Every figure is subject to serviceability, lender appetite and approval.
What is on the document checklist?
A typical application needs identification, the contract or property details, recent business and personal financials, tax returns, bank statements, and details of your entity or trust structure. A related-party transfer adds the current title, the trust deed and financials for every entity involved. Older deeds are worth checking before lodging.
How far will a lender go on a building like this?
Standard industrial security reaches up to 80% of value. Up to 100% of the purchase price is achievable where you add equity from a property you already own. A site with an environmental history can move the number, so send us the address and we will give you a real figure.
I am buying out my brother's share of the building. How does that work?
As a refinance of the whole property rather than a purchase of half of it. The lender assesses the full value and the full loan, with you as the remaining owner, and the funds settle the outgoing share. Which entity ends up on the title changes the duty position and the guarantees required. We work that through with your accountant before anything is lodged.
What decides the rate on a deal like ours?
A commercial rate is set per file rather than off a shelf price. It moves with the property and the ownership structure, the LVR, the loan size, the entity you borrow through, and whether the lender is verifying your full financials or just the lease. We will tell you the range your deal genuinely sits in before you spend anything, and where the levers are.
What is the stamp duty on commercial property in NSW?
Transfer duty is charged on the dutiable value of the property on the general NSW scale, and there is no owner-occupier or first-buyer concession the way there is on a home. Surcharge purchaser duty applies to residential-related property, so a purely commercial purchase is generally outside it. Duty and GST are funds you bring to settlement rather than part of the loan, so we set your funds-to-complete figure with you before you exchange. Revenue NSW publishes the current scale.
Do you charge fees for commercial mortgage broking?
Most of the time, no. Where a deal needs significant preparation or is unusually complex, a small mandate fee may apply, and we will always tell you plainly before any work begins.
What areas do you service?
Although we are based in Sydney, we service clients across all major Australian cities, including Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Adelaide, Canberra and Hobart, along with their surrounding regional areas. Wherever your commercial property is located, we can arrange your finance.
What other finance can you assist with?
Although our main speciality is property loans for business owners, we also assist with asset finance and working capital for Revesby businesses. On asset finance, that covers fabrication and machining plant, cranes and gantries, prime movers and trailers, and fit-out. On working capital, we arrange business overdrafts, lines of credit and cash-flow funding to cover stock, supplier payments and cash-flow gaps. We also arrange home loans, planned alongside your commercial borrowing: cross collateralisation, guarantees, shortfalls and trust income included. See home loans for business owners.
I have been a business owner for a few years, but this will be my first commercial loan. Are you beginner friendly?
Yes. That is our core ethos, helping you understand the right strategy, structure and clear advice from the very first conversation. Our main borrower profiles are established business owners and commercial property investors seeking finance from $50,000 upwards for their company, so a first commercial loan is well within our wheelhouse. Smaller sole-trader and consumer-style ABN lending sits outside our field.
Can you give financial advice?
No. Arranging finance and advising on financial products are two different disciplines, and we do the first. What we bring is the credit analysis lenders require, the structuring of the facility, and the strategy for putting your application in front of lenders whose appetite matches it.
Because we act as a credit representative under an Australian Credit Licence, we do not give financial product, superannuation, taxation or legal advice, and nothing we provide should be taken as such. Where your circumstances need that input, we are happy to work with your accountant, financial adviser and solicitor to understand the full picture before anything is submitted.
