Flexible financing solutions for business owners and real estate investors across the USA and Canada—structured to support acquisitions, refinancing, construction, and long-term growth strategies.

What Are Commercial Loans?

Commercial loans are financing solutions designed to purchase, refinance, or improve income-producing and business-use real estate. In some cases, they also support specialized commercial assets and property-related business objectives.

Unlike traditional residential mortgages, commercial financing is evaluated using a combination of financial, property, and deal-specific factors, including:

Property fundamentals: market value, income potential, occupancy levels, and physical condition

Borrower profile: credit strength, liquidity, net worth, and industry experience

Deal structure: equity contribution, loan term, amortization, collateral, and exit strategy

Because commercial properties and business goals vary widely, these loans are typically custom-structured, with terms and pricing adjusted based on risk, property type, and long-term strategy.

Who Uses Commercial Loans?

Commercial loans are commonly used by a wide range of businesses and investors, including:

  • Owner-occupied businesses such as medical practices, automotive facilities, warehouses, professional offices, and retail operators seeking long-term control and stability

  • Real estate investors acquiring or refinancing income-producing properties

  • Developers funding construction, renovations, or value-add repositioning projects

  • Business owners consolidating locations, improving cash flow through refinancing, or accessing equity for expansion

Common property types include:
Office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, mixed-use properties, multifamily (5+ units), self-storage, hospitality assets, and select special-purpose properties (program-dependent).
