Although no scenario is exactly the same, a typical business loan can easily close in as little 30 days. When real estate is involved in the transaction and an appraisal required, you are typically looking at 45 - 60 days. Working capital, Term Loans and Line Of Credit requests can fund quicker in as little as 5 - 7 days.

No Problem! 1st Commercial Lending has access to programs that require as little as 10% down. Depending on strength of practice and borrower creditworthiness, we can typically provide up to 90% business acquisition financing plus working capital to help with the transition period.

We hear this question often and can assist with both transaction types. An existing business is less risky for the lender as well as the business owner due to the established revenue and client base and built-up goodwill.
