Common Business Real Estate Loan Types

We offer several types of business real estate loans, each designed to meet different needs:

1. SBA 7(a) Loans: This flexible loan program is perfect for businesses looking to purchase or refinance commercial real estate. We’ll help you navigate the eligibility criteria and get funded.
2. SBA 504 Loans: This program is ideal for businesses that want to finance major fixed assets, such as real estate or equipment. The SBA 504 loan offers long-term, fixed-rate financing with a combination of private lender and CDC funding. Contact us today to learn about the SBA’s 504 program that may benefit your business real estate purchase!
3. Commercial Real Estate Loans: These loans are great for businesses seeking traditional mortgage-style financing with fixed or variable rates. They typically offer longer terms to help you manage larger property purchases
4. Bridge Loans: Bridge loans can be valuable if you need short-term funding while pursuing long-term financing solutions.

The Application Process

Applying for a commercial real estate loan can be more complex than a personal mortgage, but we’re here to make the process as smooth as possible. Our team will guide you through the application process, which generally includes the following steps:

1. Initial Consultation: Discuss your needs with a loan officer who will help identify the right loan for you.
2. Loan Application: Submit required documents, including financial statements, business plans, and details about the property you wish to purchase.
3. Approval Process: We’ll review your application and work to approve your loan quickly, using our in-depth knowledge of the local market to make an informed decision.
4. Loan Closing: Once your loan is approved, we’ll finalize the details and ensure you have everything you need for your purchase or project.

Reconsideration of Value

A reconsideration of value (ROV) is a request to reevaluate a property's appraisal based on new information that may not have been considered during the original appraisal. If you would like to raise any concerns about the property appraisal or collateral evaluation performed during the application process, please provide details that support your basis for this ROV request.

The more information you provide, the better we can address your concerns. If you have any questions about how to complete the form, contact LoanProcessing@ssb.bank or your loan officer.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the requirements for a business real estate loan? To qualify for a business real estate loan, lenders typically evaluate your business's financial history, credit score, cash flow, and the value of the property you wish to purchase. The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is also important, as it determines how much of the property’s value will be covered by the loan.

2. How much can I borrow for a business real estate loan? The amount you can borrow depends on several factors, including the type of loan, your business's financial stability, and the value of the property you're purchasing. Generally, business real estate loans have a loan-to-value ratio of 75-80%.

3. Can I refinance my business real estate loan? Yes! We offer refinancing options for existing commercial properties, which may lower your monthly payments or adjust the terms of your loan.

4. What is the SBA 504 loan program? The SBA 504 loan program is designed to help businesses purchase or refinance commercial real estate with long-term, fixed-rate financing. A portion of the loan is funded by a Certified Development Company (CDC) and is backed by the SBA.

5. How long does it take to get approved for a business real estate loan? While approval times vary, we will quickly process your loan application to provide a fast decision. The entire process typically takes a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the loan.
