Get Free AdviceGetting the right financing is essential for business success in the Greater Toronto Area's (GTA) competitive commercial real estate market. With flexible, equity-based financing options catered to the potential of your property, EquityRich provides specialized commercial mortgage solutions. With a strong emphasis on the GTA, we are your committed private and alternative mortgage lender, working to unlock the funds you require to grow, invest, or stabilize your business endeavours across Canada.
A commercial mortgage is a loan secured against non-residential properties — such as office buildings, retail spaces, industrial warehouses, and apartment buildings with 5 or more units. Businesses use commercial mortgages to refinance current debt, buy new real estate, or obtain funds for operations and strategic investments.
In contrast to conventional bank loans, our commercial mortgage procedure prioritizes the equity of your property over individual financial indicators like income or credit score. This strategy increases the accessibility and adaptability of our solutions for a larger group of Canadian corporate investors and business owners.
Business owners, investors, and entrepreneurs in the GTA who own or are purchasing commercial real estate. Whether you need to refinance, expand, or access working capital secured against your commercial property, EquityRich has a solution for you. See how commercial mortgages can support business growth and expansion strategies for companies across Toronto and the GTA.
The process starts with a thorough consultation during which our knowledgeable commercial mortgage broker or agent learns about your unique financing requirements and property specifics. Your application will require little personal financial documentation and will primarily focus on the equity in your property.
Our staff performs a comprehensive appraisal after receiving your application to ascertain the available equity and current market value of your commercial property. Since our lending decisions are based on the property's intrinsic value within the GTA, this step is essential for determining the possible loan amount.
EquityRich will create a customized commercial mortgage offer based on the property assessment and your particular needs. In addition to options for first and second mortgage positions and competitive commercial mortgage rates in Canada, this offer will include information on the loan amount, interest rates, repayment terms, and any other pertinent conditions.
The legal and due diligence process starts as soon as you accept. To make sure the mortgage is correctly registered against the property, legal counsel examines all supporting documentation. Our team minimizes delays by working efficiently to finish this stage.
The money is released after all requirements are satisfied and legal paperwork is completed, enabling you to move forward with your business plans. Throughout the duration of your commercial mortgage, EquityRich offers continuous support and direction, guaranteeing a solid and long-lasting collaboration.
A commercial mortgage in Toronto covers a wider range of real estate than most borrowers expect. Because our decisions lean on the equity in the property rather than rigid bank checklists, we can look at deals that traditional lenders set aside. Here are the property types we work with most across the GTA.
If your property generates income or houses a business, there is usually a way to finance it. For investors buying income-generating real estate or rental portfolios, our property investment mortgage options work alongside commercial lending depending on how the property is classified.
Commercial qualification works differently than a home loan. Banks dig deep into business financials, debt service coverage, and personal income. We start from a different place: how much equity sits in the property and whether the deal makes sense. That shift opens the door for self-employed owners, investors with complex returns, and borrowers who can’t tidy their income into a bank’s preferred format.
Here’s what we look at when reviewing a commercial deal in the GTA:
Credit history and a clean bank application carry far less weight with us than with a chartered bank. If a conventional lender can offer you sharper pricing on a given file, we’ll tell you.
In the Greater Toronto Area, EquityRich is a prominent private and alternative commercial mortgage lender. Equity-based lending is one of our specialties. In Ontario, private lenders are becoming more and more important, and because we prioritize the value of your property, we can provide solutions that traditional banks might not be able to. We provide both first and second mortgage positions and go as high as 70-75% loan-to-value.
Most importantly, we remove typical obstacles: there is no minimum age requirement, no minimum credit score, and no income requirement. Regardless of your individual financial background, this inclusive approach guarantees that your business potential is acknowledged. EquityRich is your strategic partner for a commercial mortgage that is suited to the actual value of your assets, whether you’re growing your retail presence or investing in Toronto’s industrial sector.

It depends on the property type and how much equity you hold. Commercial loan-to-value ratios are typically more conservative than residential, so the amount available is driven mainly by the building's value and your equity position. We assess each file individually rather than applying a single fixed cap.
Rates vary with the property, the term, your equity, and overall risk on the deal. Equity-based and alternative commercial financing usually prices above bank rates because it carries more flexibility and faster timelines. We quote on a per-deal basis once we understand the property, so you get a real number rather than a teaser.
Yes. This is one of the main reasons borrowers come to us. We focus on the equity and the property rather than requiring the income documentation a bank demands, which suits business owners, investors, and anyone whose income doesn't fit a standard template.
Because we lend directly and base decisions on equity, commercial files generally move faster than the bank process. Timelines depend on the appraisal, legal work, and property complexity, but straightforward deals can move quickly when the equity is clear.
Yes. We work across the GTA and surrounding regions, including Durham, York, Peel, Halton, and Hamilton. Property values and equity levels in these markets make commercial financing practical throughout the area.
Both. We have our own commercial lending products and fund many deals directly. When a partner lender offers better pricing or a structure we don't carry, we can place the deal there as a licensed brokerage. If you also need flexible, equity-driven options on other property, our private mortgages may fit alongside a commercial file.
No credit check. No income verification. Our team is ready to help you unlock the value of your home.
