The financing provides the borrower, within a short amount of time or within a week, necessary money or funds to purchase an estate (buying a home) or complete a business transaction. This happens when funds are not available to make an immediate purchase, but sufficient amount of cash will be received, which to pay the proceeding transaction, usually within a year.

In the commercial real estate market, the borrower may need a bridge loan, for a short period of time, which to pay immediate expense, until the existing property (retail or office space, apartment or condominium) is sold or permanent financing can be arranged.
