Loan Process for Business and Commercial Investor Loans

The lender evaluates the borrower’s general financial situation to determine their eligibility for a loan. This involves a basic review of income, assets, credit score, and debt.

The borrower completes and submits a detailed loan application form, providing information about their financial status, property details, and the loan purpose.

The borrower gathers and submits necessary documents, such as financial statements, tax returns, property leases, business plans, and legal entity documents.

The lender conducts a thorough analysis of the borrower’s credit history, financial statements, and overall creditworthiness. This includes reviewing credit scores and reports.

An independent appraiser evaluates the property to determine its current market value. This helps the lender ensure that the loan amount is appropriate for the property’s worth.

The lender’s underwriting team assesses the loan application, financial documents, credit analysis, and appraisal report to decide whether to approve the loan and under what terms.

If the underwriting process is successful, the lender issues a loan commitment or approval letter, outlining the loan terms, conditions, and any additional requirements.

The lender provides a term sheet summarizing the loan terms and conditions. Upon agreement, a formal commitment letter is issued, which the borrower must sign to accept the loan terms.

The lender performs detailed due diligence, including site inspections, environmental assessments, and verification of property details and legal compliance.

The lender and borrower finalize preparations for closing, ensuring all conditions are met, and all necessary documents are in place. This may involve coordinating with attorneys, title companies, and other parties.

The closing meeting takes place, where all final documents are signed, funds are disbursed, and the loan is officially executed. The borrower takes possession of the funds, and the lender secures a lien on the property.

After closing, the lender sets up the loan servicing process, and the borrower begins making regular loan payments as agreed in the loan terms.
