Commercial Finance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, commercial finance is the function of offering loans to businesses. Commercial financing is generally offered by a bank or other lender. Most commercial banks offer commerial financing, and the loans are usually secured by business assets. Assets used to collatoralize commercial finance loans include:
- Real Estate
- Receivables from invoices
- Equipment or supplies
While qualifying for financing is generally easier for large, well established companies, some small businesses can qualify for commercial financing from the Small Business Administration (SBA).[1] The SBA may provide either financing or insure a lender who takes a risk on a smaller company to provide commercial finance.
