Commercial Real Estate Loans

Commercial real estate financing may be used for eligible property purchases, refinances, or improvements. Property type, occupancy, transaction purpose, borrower financials, costs, rates, and terms are reviewed under the lender’s program.

Start with how the property will be used

Will your business operate from the building, or will tenants generate rental income? Explain the planned use before comparing financing. Owner-occupied business property and investment property can follow different program rules.

Where SBA financing may fit

SBA 7(a) financing can support eligible real-estate purchases, refinancing, or improvements. SBA 504 financing supports eligible major fixed assets, but cannot be used for speculation or investment in rental real estate. Neither program is a blanket option for every commercial property.

Read our SBA financing guide, then confirm current eligibility and lender participation. This information does not establish that Beacon offers or can arrange a particular SBA product.

  • Describe the property, intended use, purchase or refinance purpose, and requested timeline.
  • Ask which financial records and property reports are needed before paying for third-party work.
  • Compare the loan maturity with the amortization schedule, and ask whether a balance may remain due at maturity.
