Property-backed business financing · Singapore

Turn the property you already own into funding for your business.

Wayfinder Capital helps Singapore SME owners unlock financing against commercial property or their own residential property — no need to own a commercial unit to get started. Working capital and invoice financing also available.

We work across multiple banks and licensed financial institutions to match your application — we are not a lender ourselves.

Property-Backed Financing

Unlock the value of property you already own

Whether it's a private home or a commercial unit, the property you hold can be turned into working capital or growth funding — without necessarily selling it. This is the primary way we help clients encash property value.

Secured · Featured

Residential Equity-Backed Financing

Unlock equity from your own privately-owned residential property (condo or landed — HDB flats are not eligible) to fund your business. Structured as financing secured against the director's personal property, assessed against personal income (TDSR applies).

  • Typical tenureUp to 20–30 yrs
  • Loan-to-valueUp to 75%*
  • Best forHomeowners without commercial property
Secured · Featured

Commercial Property Loan

Uses commercial or industrial property as collateral. Structured packages can extend financing beyond the standard mortgage with an additional business term loan, typically at lower rates than unsecured borrowing.

  • Typical tenureUp to 15–30 yrs
  • Loan-to-valueStructured packages available**
  • Best forCommercial/industrial property owners

*Residential equity-backed financing is secured against the director's personal residential property and assessed under Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) rules, capped at 55% of personal income. HDB flats are not eligible for this facility. **Some lenders offer structured packages combining a standard commercial property loan (typically up to 80% LTV) with an additional unsecured business term loan, extending combined financing further. Actual eligibility, quantum, and rate depend on the lender's assessment of your business, the director's personal profile, and the property.

Why a consultant

What a broker adds that a direct bank application doesn't

One application, multiple lenders

Rather than approaching banks one at a time, your profile is matched against several institutions' criteria at once.

Fewer rejected applications on your record

Applying to lenders unlikely to approve you can affect your credit profile. We aim to shortlist realistically.

Plain-language guidance on the fine print

Effective interest rates, early repayment terms, and processing fees explained before you sign anything.

No cost to explore your options

Any consultancy fee, if applicable, is disclosed to you upfront in writing before you engage our services — never after.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I use my home to finance my business, even without commercial property? +

Yes, if you personally own private residential property (a condo or landed home — HDB flats are not eligible). This is structured as financing secured against the director's own residential property, not a business asset, so it's assessed against the director's personal income under Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) rules, capped at 55%. Loan-to-value is typically up to 75%, lower than commercial property structures, since MAS enforces stricter caps on residential lending.

How does structured commercial property financing work? +

It's often a structured package, not one single loan. A standard commercial property loan typically covers up to 80% of your property's value; some lenders will pair this with an additional unsecured business term loan covering a further portion, extending the combined financing beyond the standard mortgage alone. This is generally available to companies with strong financials rather than every applicant — your consultant can confirm what you'd realistically qualify for.

What interest rates should I expect? +

Rates depend on the lender, loan structure, your business's credit profile, and prevailing market conditions, so we don't publish a fixed number here. Your consultant will walk you through the effective interest rate (EIR) for any offer you receive before you decide.

Do you charge me a fee? +

Our fee structure, if any applies to your case, is disclosed to you in writing before you engage us — never deducted silently from a loan disbursement without your knowledge.

Will submitting the form affect my credit score? +

No. Submitting your details to us does not trigger a credit bureau check. A check only occurs if and when you proceed with a formal application to a specific lender.

How long does approval typically take? +

This varies by lender and loan type, and depends on how complete your documentation is. Your consultant will give you a realistic timeline for the specific institutions being approached on your behalf.

Are you a licensed moneylender or a bank? +

We are a financing consultancy that helps match SME owners to banks and licensed financial institutions; we are not ourselves a bank or licensed moneylender, and we do not lend money directly.
