Commercial Project Finance Basic Information

By Anthony Baker


You might be thinking to build a commercial spaces on a specific site and the specific type it would support. This kind of projects are requiring a longer time and a big amount of money for funding to finish it. So building one that has a great chance of yielding big results and profits is important for your return of investment.

But starting its construction will need funds that you may not possess which can be acquired with the support of other institutions. You could apply to get commercial project finance loans from the banks so they would fund your project. Here are some things to know and what to expect when applying for one to help you with.

Approach lenders or banks that can finance your project within your area and avoid those that are not within your area or state. This is because construction loans have a very high risk and someone who understands the local market for real estate is needed as a lender. They would be lending you money for constructing your building based on its real estate value.

Banks would only require the general details about the project when on the initial stage of your financing request. Your detailed project plans, personal tax and financial statements are not yet expected to be provided by you.

If they are considering its approval then different proposed terms and conditions are given. You might ask for changes in some of them which they could agree or not agree until an agreement has been reached with the proposed terms and conditions.

They would be determining the feasibility of this endeavor and other factors that would impact its cost. You must know how long these different processes will take until your loan will be approved to have an initial schedule set.

Consult your legal counsel which has an experience dealing with similar complicated transactions for your interests to be represented. They can be consulted when the bank gives the commitment letter to know their thoughts of the requirements.

The bank lawyer will be giving a checklist of those documents needed to be submitted by you and your attorney after the execution of commitment letter and before the deal has been closed. Your attorney will help compile all those to be submitted. Next, a loan agreement is given stating the conditions needed for the funds release.
