Business Loans

What is a business loan?

Commercial business loans are offered by many types of lenders, including ones that finance real estate purchases, refinances and second mortgages. Mortgage lenders will typically underwrite these loans using the business property as collateral. Small business loans that qualify as SBA 7(a) loans are guaranteed by the federal government, providing lenders with security when financing these mortgages.

Lenders have the ability to finance up to $25,000 without collateral, but if the borrower desires a larger loan amount, they must provide real estate as collateral. Banks and other lenders offer mortgages with cash-out that can be used for business purposes, such as to buy equipment.
