Whether you’re purchasing equipment, funding a real estate project, or bridging operational gaps, our commercial lending options give your business the leverage it needs to thrive.
What Is a Commercial Loan?
A commercial loan is a debt-based financing arrangement between a business and a lender, used to cover capital expenditures, working capital, or expansion costs. These loans help companies access the funds needed to operate efficiently, invest in assets, or scale to new heights—without relying on equity or personal funding.
Unlike traditional consumer loans, commercial loans are tailored to businesses and often require:
-
Collateral (e.g., equipment, property, inventory)
-
Financial documentation (like balance sheets and cash flow reports)
-
A clear repayment plan
