Why you should replace your commercial mortgage

Submitted by Josh on September 2, 2015 - 9:14pm

If you own your advisor office space, you know how inflexible traditional commercial mortgages can be. Payment terms are fixed. Principal MUST be repaid. Try borrowing back principal you have already paid down!

Instead, what if you had a commercial mortgage that could help finance a new marketing initiative? Or buy a colleague's book of business? What if you had a commercial mortgage that could help you reduce interest costs?

With Manulife One for Business, you'll get:

Ready access to funds from a line of credit that helps you respond quickly to opportunities as they arise
Flexible repayment options so you can switch to interest-only payments or borrow back principal to ease cash flow pressure
The ability to save thousands of dollars in interest by paying down as much of your line as you want when cashflow is strong
Over $4,600 in incentives* for up to 3 years when you reserve your spot in our exclusive advisor promotion

If you don't own your advisor office – and you're not planning to buy one in the next 3 years – you can refer a client with a commercial property. We'll make it worth your while!

Did you know?

You don't have to be tied to fixed monthly principal payments. What if you're having a slow-income month and prefer not to make principal payments?
If you prefer fixed rates, you can diversify interest rate risk on your commercial mortgage. Ask about the option to ladder debt maturities over up to 5 different fixed terms


Plus – reserve your $4,600 in exclusive advisor incentives today!

Contracted advisor John Davis states, "As we have paid down the debt on the property, it opened up capital we were able to access very quickly to take advantage of an investment opportunity. That's when I realized the true power of this debt instrument."
