What Is a Commercial Loan?

A commercial loan is financing used to buy, refinance, build, or operate business and investment property — office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, apartments, and more. Unlike a residential mortgage, a commercial loan is underwritten largely on the property's income and the strength of the business, so lenders weigh cash flow, debt service coverage, and loan-to-value alongside your credit. The right structure depends on your timeline and goals, which is why borrowers compare conventional, SBA, bridge, and construction options side by side.

Established businesses with strong cash flow often choose conventional commercial loans for speed, while buyers of owner-occupied property may prefer the lower down payment of an SBA loan. For ground-up projects, see our construction loans.

Commercial Loan vs. Commercial Real Estate vs. Conventional — Which Do You Need?

These products overlap, so it helps to start with what you are actually financing. Here is a quick way to tell them apart and land on the right page.

Choose a commercial loan when you need broad, general-purpose business financing — working capital, expansion, an acquisition, or equipment — rather than money tied to a single building. This is the widest category, covering both property and non-property uses for established companies.

Choose commercial real estate when the loan is specifically to buy or refinance income-producing property such as office, retail, industrial, or mixed-use buildings, where the deal is underwritten on the property's cash flow.

Choose conventional loans when you want a non-SBA bank mortgage on a stabilized, cash-flowing property and value a faster close over the lower down payment of a government-backed option.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A commercial real estate (CRE) loan is financing used to purchase, refinance, or develop income-producing properties such as office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, multifamily apartments, and industrial facilities. These loans typically range from $500,000 to $50 million with terms of 15-25 years.

Commercial loan requirements typically include a credit score of 680+, debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 1.25 or higher, 20-30% down payment, 2+ years in business, and strong financial statements. Lenders also evaluate the property's income potential, location, and condition.

Commercial loan amounts range from $500,000 to $50 million depending on the property type, your financial profile, and the lender. Loan-to-value (LTV) ratios typically range from 65-80%, meaning you can borrow 65-80% of the property's appraised value.

Commercial loan rates currently range from 5.25% to 8% depending on loan type, property, and borrower qualifications. Conventional commercial loans start around 5.25%, while construction loans are typically Prime + 1-2%. Rates vary based on loan term, property type, and market conditions.

Commercial loans are for business or investment properties, have higher interest rates, shorter terms (15-25 years vs 30), require larger down payments (20-30% vs 3-20%), and are underwritten based on property income rather than personal income. Commercial loans also typically have balloon payments or refinancing requirements.

Commercial loan approval typically takes 30-60 days from application to funding. Simple conventional loans may close in 30 days, while complex deals or SBA-backed commercial loans may take 60-90 days. Having complete documentation ready can significantly speed up the process.

To qualify, lenders generally look for a credit score around 680 or higher, a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of at least 1.25, a 20-30% down payment, and at least 2 years in business with solid financial statements. They also weigh the property's income potential, location, and condition when underwriting the deal.

Most commercial loans require a 20-30% down payment, which corresponds to a 65-80% loan-to-value (LTV) ratio. The exact figure depends on the property type, your credit, and the strength of the property's cash flow. SBA-backed options can require less down, sometimes as little as 10%.
