Securing finance for a commercial project can be complex — whether it’s a new build, land-banking, an owner-occupied space, or a development. At Best Mortgages, we simplify the process by comparing options from major banks and specialist lenders across Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty.
Real example: A Papamoa client was upgrading an ageing workshop to a new warehouse. Their bank declined due to limited pre-sales. We restructured the deal, presented it to a commercial lender, and secured drawdown funding. It’s now fully leased — and cash-flow positive.
As your independent mortgage broker Tauranga, we’ll analyse your proposal and open funding channels most borrowers can’t access alone.

We help Tauranga businesses and investors secure finance for construction, development, land banking, and owner-occupied or investment commercial property. As independent mortgage brokers, we compare banks and specialist lenders to match your project’s structure, size, and cash-flow needs.
Most lenders expect 30–40 % deposit for commercial deals, but it depends on the project type and risk profile. We’ll assess your equity, income, and property value to find lenders with flexible loan-to-value ratios that fit your goals across the Bay of Plenty.
Yes. Many Tauranga clients refinance or release equity from their home or another investment to raise commercial capital. We’ll calculate your borrowing power and structure the lending so you keep good cash-flow and minimise cross-collateral risk.
Banks usually offer sharper rates but stricter conditions. Non-bank and specialist lenders provide more flexibility with shorter terms or staged draw-downs. We compare both options and negotiate terms that align with your project timeline and profit objectives.
Absolutely. While we’re Tauranga-based, we work with business owners across the Bay of Plenty and nationwide. Whether you’re developing in Mount Maunganui or purchasing in Auckland, we’ll handle the finance structure and lender negotiations for you.
