Commercial Loan

Noun

Definition: A commercial loan is a loan between a business and a bank to fund capital expenditures and/or operating costs.

If the property's sponsor(s) use over 50 percent of the building's useable square footage, the commercial loan is said to be a owner-occupied commercial loan. Otherwise the commercial loan is considered to be an investment mortgage. To be considered a commercial loan the property being funded must be zoned commercial and not residential.
