FAQ

How do commercial mortgages work?

Commercial mortgages are similar to standard home loans or mortgages, in that they are liens placed on a property to help purchase the property for use. The primary difference is that these mortgages can only be used for commercial spaces, such as offices, garages, or restaurant locations, as well as for construction or renovation on an existing space.

As a result, these mortgages are only available to certain types of businesses, such as LLCs or S-class businesses, and not individuals. While the application process and purchasing process may be similar, commercial mortgages cannot be given out to individuals, nor can commercial mortgages be used to purchase residential properties.
