Mortgage for business

Hi all
First post so I hope I posted in the right thread..
My boyfriend owns a business.. The business is profitable, but due to high loans, credit card repayments the money in= money out, and the credit cards never get paid (apart from min repayments which cover the interest only).
His parents are willing to help... releasing 10% of the value of the house (no mortgage on house) would pay off the credit cards and loans.. But how to go about this? equity release companies appear a bit dodgy, but can you get a mortgage to release the 10%?
Thanks

Should be pretty easy on a property with no mortgage.
However will all depend on minimum mortgage amounts for the lender, along with incomes and ages of parents.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Parents have no income apart from pension (they are in their 80s) but my boyfriend would make the repayments on the loan/mortgage..0 -
In that case no.
Options will be very limited.
How much exactly do they/your boyfriend need to raise to clear the debts?
Can your boyfriend not consolidate all onto one loan and pay off that way?I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
