Factory and warehouse financing follows different rules from housing: 70 to 85 percent margins, 20 to 25 year tenures, business underwriting. Worked repayment examples plus the FactoryHub mortgage calculator.
Every "loan calculator Malaysia" result on the first page of Google assumes you are buying a house. Factory and warehouse financing follows different rules. This guide explains how industrial property loans are structured in Malaysia, what monthly repayments actually look like, and how to prepare an application that gets approved.
A worked example on typical terms (illustrative only; confirm current rates with your bank):
Monthly instalment: roughly RM17,800. At 5 percent the same loan runs about RM18,700 a month; at 4 percent about RM16,900. Small rate differences compound over 25 years, which is why it pays to shop at least three banks.
Run your own scenario in the FactoryHub mortgage calculator: enter price, margin, rate and tenure, and it returns the instalment and total interest instantly. Then estimate stamp duty and both sets of legal fees with the legal fees calculator.
Most banks finance 70 to 85 percent of the lower of price or valuation for industrial property. Owner-occupying SMEs with strong financials sit at the top of that range; investment purchases and older properties sit lower.
Rates are built from the Standardised Base Rate plus a spread set case by case. The spread depends on your company's financials, the property's age and location, and your banking relationship. Always compare effective rates, not headline rates, across banks.
The instalment mathematics is identical, so a mortgage calculator gives you the right monthly figure once you enter the correct margin, rate and tenure. Use the FactoryHub mortgage calculator with industrial assumptions: 70 to 85 percent margin and a 20 to 25 year tenure.
Most owner-operators buy through the company for tax and operational reasons, but the right structure depends on your circumstances; speak to your accountant before signing. Banks will usually ask for directors' guarantees either way.
