The advantages of bridging loans for business financing
This is not just a trend, nor is it a necessity. Bridging loans are increasingly seen by companies in Spain as a useful tool and even as an opportunity to make progress in business life. And it is not for nothing that they offer numerous advantages.
On the one hand, they can be quick in the approval and disbursement process, which is why they are seen as a basic resource when more or less immediate financing is needed, as is the case with DEXTER. On the other hand, they tend to be flexible in their terms, especially when compared to other types of credit. Likewise, and as their name suggests, they are commonly used as a temporary solution to bridge the gap between a certain urgency and obtaining a long-term loan.
There are specific cases, such as in the real estate sector, where the entrepreneur uses them to close a transaction. In other words, they can provide the liquidity to acquire one property before selling another, for example. In short, it is a matter of 'buying time'.
Even so, as DEXTER's Risk Analysis Department director, José Enrique Chasserot, points out, "as with any other loan, it is advisable for the entrepreneur to carry out a careful assessment of the circumstances and specific financial needs of his company, and to make a decision based on this. It is true that in this type of bridge loan, when there is a clear, liquid mortgage guarantee, procedures are accelerated and capital can be available in a matter of a few days", concludes Chasserot.
