Ways to Use a Conventional Loan
How Conventional Loans Work
Conventional loans are most commonly used to purchase a stabilized commercial property. These loans are unique because they are not backed by a government entity – instead, the borrower receives funding solely from a lender (like us), breaking the loan into a 70/30 financing structure. The occupying business and owners guarantee the loan.
Benefits of Conventional Loans
Conventional loans are a strong low-cost financing option if your business doesn’t meet the eligibility requirements for an SBA loan. If you have strong credit and property fundamentals, conventional loans offer very competitive fixed interest rates and low fees.
Because there are only two parties involved in a conventional loan (the borrower and the lender), the underwriting and approval process is often shorter. We typically close conventional loans 45 days after issuing a quote.
