Commercial Loans

There are three types of commercial loans, as classified by term. Short-term loans have maturities of up to one year and may include funds for working capital, A/R, and lines of credit. Long-term loans have maturities greater than one year and generally less than seven. They are usually secured for equipment and/or working capital. Real estate and equipment loans, then, have terms of up to 25 years. They are often used for major business expenses, such as real estate and facilities, construction, durable equipment, furniture and fixtures, vehicles, etc.

Often times, sole proprietors will apply for a home equity loan. A home equity loan is a loan for any legal purpose which uses the equity in a member's home as the collateral. It is often called a "second mortgage." The property must be owner-occupied.
Many business owners find this option to be more feasible than trying to attain a commercial business loan.

There are numerous banking institutions in the San Luis Valley that offer both business and home-equity loans. Click here for a complete list.
