Commercial Loans 
 
Commercial loans are those loans which are needed to fund new or existing legitimate businesses operations.
Businesses may be organized as a sole-proprietorships, partnerships, corporations (both “S” and “C” corps), limited liability companies (LLC) or non-profits. Some examples of commercial loan needs are:
  • Start-up capital.
  • Cyclical operating capital.
  • Equipment/inventory/raw materials purchases.
  • Land acquisition.
  • Building construction/renovation.

Loan Rates, Terms & Fees 

Because each commercial loan client and request is unique, loan rates and terms offered will vary depending on a number of underwriting criteria, including (but not limited to) the type of loan request, collateral to be offered and credit worthiness of the customer. Similarly, fees on commercial loans are determined by type of loan requested and are quoted to the customer upon formal loan approval.
 
As a service to business clients and agricultural operations, we can also work with the federal government’s Small Business Administration (SBA) and Farm Services Agency (FSA) to seek funding via various federally guaranteed loan programs available at time of application.
