How does the BOQ Commercial Rate Loan work?
Depending on what your business needs and its cash flow requirements, you can choose between a variable interest rate loan, an interest-capitalised variable loan, a fixed interest rate loan or an interest-prepaid option. Certain features such as the redraw and progress draw facilities are only available with variable interest rate options.
Besides residential or commercial property, you can secure the loan with assets such as fixed or floating company charge or a director's guarantee.
