What are
Construction Loans?
Construction loans are how small businesses make building CRE more affordable.
One loan can cover the costs of surveys, inspections, and assessments before you dig. Then, move on to pouring the foundation, erecting beams, and adding insulation. By the time you’re ready to finish the roof, you’ll be glad you financed your project with our top lenders.
Unlike most loans, a construction loan doesn’t give you a lump sum for your project.
These loans are broken down into stages of construction and funding. Before you start, you’ll hammer out a financing plan with your lender that includes milestones. Finish the first milestone, and you’ll get funding for the next. The best part is, if you get stuck before you can finish building, you’re only required to pay back the milestones that were funded, not the entire loan amount.
During the construction phase, most loans only require you to pay the interest.
Once you’ve wrapped up, the principal portion is due. If you’re not ready to pay the full principal, other financing options let you transition into a long-term mortgage. Even if you haven’t had luck with lenders in the past, you might be eligible for a CRE loan through the Small Business Administration. No matter what your construction needs are, we have the loans to fit. Call us to find out more.
