Gas Station Loans
We are pleased to offer gas station loans for the purchase or refinance of gas stations nationwide, from $1,500,000. Select Commercial specializes in gas station financing for both seasoned operators and new owners, including gas station and automotive service center properties. Because a gas station is an owner-operated, single-purpose business, we place these loans mainly through SBA 504 and 7(a), with up to 90% financing. Compare today’s commercial mortgage rates.

Three Main Sources of Gas Station Financing
There are three main sources of gas stations financing, and as a broker we compare all of them for your deal:
- SBA loans (504 and 7a): the most common route for gas stations, offering high leverage up to 90%, long terms and flexible underwriting for owner-operators.
- Seller financing: sometimes available on acquisitions, and often used alongside an SBA or bank loan.
- Conventional bank loans: available for stronger operators, though most conventional lenders steer clear of gas stations due to the specialized risk profile.
Why a Gas Station Loan Specialist Matters
Most conventional lenders avoid gas stations because the real estate and the operating business are intertwined. Many small business owners looking to refinance or take cash out have trouble getting traditional bank loans because of their company size, a specialized property type, credit history, or difficulty producing tax returns. It is important to choose a lender who has experience with gas stations and understands how to analyze these transactions.
With more than 30 years of experience, we finance gas stations that generalist lenders will not, with no upfront application or processing fees and written pre-approvals within 48 hours. See our business loans and special-purpose pages for related options.
