Commercial Mortgage Loans
Enterprise Bank makes many types of business loans available to its clients. One of these is the commercial mortgage term loan which can be used to acquire, construct, renovate or refinance commercial and investment real estate. Within the genre of commercial mortgage loans, the Bank also provides specialized financing options for non-owner occupied (i.e. investment) real estate loans versus owner occupied commercial real estate projects. Each of these types of commercial mortgage term loans have different structures and requirements.
With regards to investment real estate loans, the Bank can provide a maximum advance ratio or loan to value of 75% to 80% of the appraised value or cost, whichever is less. The actual loan to value percentage is determined based on the strength of the project and the quality of the commercial real estate being offered as collateral. In many cases, the borrower's cash down payment/equity contribution to the project of 20% to 25% can be reduced or eliminated if the Bank takes a security interest in additional real estate or liquid collateral of the borrower or guarantors, provided the project still cash flows adequately.
For owner occupied commercial real estate projects, which are normally defined as projects wherein the commercial real estate is occupied 51% or more by a business or businesses owned by the same or similar ownership to that of the real estate itself, multiple financing options are available. In addition to conventional commercial mortgage financing under the parameters described above, the Bank can, in many cases, also provide financing for up to 90% of the appraised value or cost, whichever is less. This higher loan to value oriented financing is facilitated in many cases thru the Bank partnering with economic development financing entities and programs including the SBA 504 Program, SBA 7(a) Loan Guaranty Program, US Department of Agriculture Business & Industry Loan Guaranty Program, PA Department of Community & Economic Development financing programs, Federal Home Loan Bank Banking on Business Program and many others. In addition to allowing business owners to retain cash for their business’s operational and working capital needs by reducing the level of down payment required when using these programs, many of these economic development finance programs the Bank partners with also provide below market fixed rate long term financing structures which reduce the business’s overall cost of borrowing and improve cash flow.
