Business Development Loans are often used to finance industrial building, office building, retail center development and multi-family housing development.
Terms Loans can be taken out for business needs such as equipment, machinery vehicles, real estate or new or expansion construction.
Restructuring Loans are used when a business or individual that owns a commercial property such as a strip-mall, agree with the mortgage holder to permanently change the terms of the original note.
SBA Loans are business loans that include lower down payments and longer repayment terms than conventional loans. SBA loans are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. Operating Lines of Credit are funds that are disbursed as needed, to be used for whatever the business’s current needs may be.
