Commercial

Commercial property loans are different from residential loans. For commercial loans, the customers get a credit option in exchange for the mortgage of commercial properties. Commercial property is classified as a property where commercial or business undertakings occur.

Commercial loans can be taken out to fund the purchase of a commercial property. Alternatively, a commercial property can be kept as a mortgage to avail commercial loans. This situation is often used when cash is needed, and the commercial property is used as collateral. When commercial properties are taken out in the form of loan, the property itself is assessed to determine the value of loan. Usually, such loans are available at affordable interest rates, and customers can also prepay the loan amount anytime they want.

 

What documents are required for a commercial loan?
