Mortgage or Business loan

Hi I am thinking of buying a Bed and Breakfast, we need a loan of about £100000.
The B&B is on the market for 490000, and we have 390000 as a down payment.
We would only need the loan for say 5 years.
Is it better to get a mortgage or a business loan.
Also who do you think are the best brokers for either a mortgage or a business loan.
Thanks in advance.

Whichever gives you the lowest interest rate over the 5 years you’ll forecast you need it for.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages, student & coronavirus Boards, money saving boards.

Be a mortgage whatever the loan type. As the lender will require security for the money adavanced.1

And if the income to service the mortgage is going to come from running the B&B, then it's a business loan anyway, surely? See a broker.1

Kind of what I thought, I was thinking if it was a business loan the interest might be tax deductible?0
