What is a second mortgage for a buy-in?
A second mortgage for a buy-in is an additional loan secured against property you already own, sitting behind your first mortgage. You retain your existing bank relationship and rates, while unlocking equity to complete a partner buy-in, management buy-in, or shareholder restructure. This keeps your refinance optional, not mandatory.
Why consider it for equity buy-ins or ownership changes
- •Speed and control: Act on a time-sensitive opportunity, meet an urgent settlement date, or align with a negotiated completion schedule.
- •Keep your bank settings: Avoid a full refinance, credit reassessment, or cross-collateral changes right before completion.
- •Preserve liquidity: Fund the buy-in without draining working capital or investment reserves.
- •Flexible exit: Repay via refinance, dividend distributions, capital call, profit share, or asset sale after the transaction stabilises.
- •Simple, project-focused structure: Interest-only, short-term, designed to bridge a specific event.
Real scenarios we regularly fund
- •Partner admissions for professional firms (medical, legal, accounting) where settlement dates are fixed.
- •Management buy-ins and vendor-financed acquisitions where a gap appears late in due diligence.
