Who lends it and what they look for

Banks, credit unions and commercial real estate lenders finance the purchase, build out and refinance of business property, and SBA 504 lenders cover owner occupied buildings with a lower down payment. For a building your own business uses, the lender underwrites your company's cash flow first and the property second. For investment property it looks at rents and occupancy. Expect an appraisal, an environmental report, your down payment and two to three years of business and personal returns.
