Owner-Occupied

Business Loans

Owner-occupied property remains the strongest segment of the business real estate market. A business loan lets you purchase or renovate the store, office or warehouse your company operates from, so your monthly payments build your own equity instead of a landlord’s. Select Commercial arranges owner-occupied financing nationwide from $1,500,000, with SBA 504 and 7(a) programs offering high leverage and long terms.

SBA Loans for Owner-Occupied Property

SBA (Small Business Administration) loans are some of the best options for business owners financing owner-occupied property. The SBA sets loan guidelines and guarantees a portion of each loan, reducing lender risk and expanding financing options for small businesses nationwide. Select Commercial is uniquely qualified to help find the best SBA loan for you and your business.

Special-Purpose Businesses We Finance

Beyond standard offices, stores and warehouses, we actively finance owner-operated, single-purpose businesses. These properties are built around the business that runs them, which makes SBA 504 and 7(a) financing a natural fit. Property types we regularly fund include:

Business Loan FAQs

What is a business real estate loan?
Financing used by a business owner to buy or renovate owner-occupied property such as a store, office or warehouse for their own use, rather than as an investment. Your payments build equity in an asset your business owns.
What is an owner-occupied loan?
A loan on property where your business occupies most of the space. Lenders generally view these as lower risk, which can mean lower interest rates than investor loans, assuming solid business credit and history.
What is the difference between an SBA 504 and 7(a) loan?
SBA 504 pairs a bank loan with a CDC debenture for owner-occupied real estate and equipment, with long fixed terms and low down payments. SBA 7(a) is a more flexible, single-loan program that can cover real estate, working capital and business acquisition. We help you choose the right one.
How much down payment do I need?
SBA programs allow high leverage, often up to 90% financing and in some cases 100%, so you can preserve working capital while acquiring your property.
Do you finance special-purpose businesses like restaurants or gas stations?
Yes. We actively finance owner-operated single-purpose businesses including restaurants, gas stations, car washes, bowling alleys, campgrounds, marinas, medical and dental practices, auto repair, fitness centers, self-storage, franchises and other single-purpose properties, often through SBA 504 or 7(a).
What is the minimum loan amount?
We finance business and commercial real estate loans starting at $1,500,000, with no maximum.
