Retail Bridging Loans

Retail Bridging Loans provide short-term financing for commercial retail properties, enabling quick access to capital for shop units, storefronts, or even entire shopping spaces. Whether you're acquiring a new shop unit in a mall, investing in a retail space, or freeing up cash from a property your business owns, our bespoke bridging facilities (starting at $1M) can finance up to around 70% of the property's value. We deliver speedy approvals, flexible funding terms, and competitive rates, so you can capitalize on retail opportunities or manage transitions without missing a beat in your business.

Yes. Strata retail units in suburban malls, mixed-use developments and stand-alone shop units are all eligible. We look at each unit on location, footfall, tenant quality (if leased) and recent transactions in the same scheme. Loan-to-value is usually 60 to 65% for strata retail, with terms of 6 to 24 months.
Yes. If you own the premises (whether F&B, salon, retail or services), you can pledge them as security for a property loan. Funds can be used for fit-out at a second location, equipment, working capital or a franchise acquisition. We look at the property value rather than the F&B P&L, which often unlocks more capital than a bank trade-finance line.
Yes. See our case study "Property financing helps retail investor cover margin call" for a real example. We can refinance or originate a loan against your retail or residential property within days, generating the cash to meet the margin call without forcing you to sell equities at a low.
Stand-alone freehold shop units in established commercial areas usually borrow more (up to 65 to 70% loan-to-value) because they have more sales evidence. Mall strata units are typically 60 to 65%, since resale liquidity depends on the mall management, footfall and tenant mix. Tenure and remaining lease also affect the final terms.
Yes. Rikvin Capital can review Singapore retail property bridge loan scenarios for acquisitions, refinancing, equity release and time-sensitive completions, provided the asset, borrower profile and exit route are clear.
A useful first note includes the asset address, estimated value, requested loan amount, existing debt position, borrower background, intended use of funds, target timeline and proposed exit. This lets the team assess fit quickly before requesting deeper documents.
Where the asset, amount and exit are clear, indicative terms can usually be reviewed within 24 hours. Completion timing depends on a Singapore valuation, legal review, KYC and how quickly supporting information is provided.
Yes. Depending on the facility structure, interest may be serviced monthly or rolled up and paid at redemption. Rolled-up interest can be useful when cash flow is tied up until a sale, refinance or liquidity event completes.
Common exits include sale of the secured asset, refinance with a bank or private bank, incoming investment proceeds, business liquidity events or repayment from another confirmed funding source. The clearer the exit, the easier it is to structure terms.
