Here's how you purchase commercial property with your SMSF

Commercial property investment with an SMSF loan could be the right choice.

This information is especially important if you’re a small business owner and you own your current business premises.

Australian law currently allows people to use their Super to invest in property. And right now, Australians are taking advantage of this opportunity—usually investing in residential property.

However, people with a Super can also invest in commercial property.

If you’re an employee of a business, commercial property can provide an alternative to residential property—or a way to diversify your Super. But, some of the major advantages of buying commercial property exist for business owners.

For small business owners who currently own or are thinking of owning their business premises, current Super laws provide significant and major advantages including;

• Unlike residential property, a SMSF can buy business real property from fund members, and fund members (or relatives of fund members) can use that SMSF asset if they choose to do so. Any lease in place must be at market rent and in line with the terms and conditions of a typical commercial lease.
• Potentially reduce tax exposure when you eventually dispose of the asset
• Help you move to a better location so you can expand
• Pay rent to your SMSF, not to a 3rd party landlord
• Improve your balance sheet if your business already owns the property and sells it to your SMSF
• Potentially legally shelter certain assets from bankruptcy proceedings.

But the laws surrounding commercial property and the SMSF are complex. So it’s important to have an experienced investment professional on your side…one who fully understands the process and has successfully helped investors and small business owners acquire commercial property.
