What is the best loan for commercial property?
For many owner-occupied commercial property purchases, an SBA 7(a) loan is a strong option because it can offer longer terms, no points, and no balloon payments. Franklin Financing Services also helps evaluate bridge loans, real estate financing, fix-and-flip capital, and restructuring options. The best choice is based on property use, cash flow, collateral, timeline, and whether traditional bank financing is available.
What are typical terms for a commercial real estate loan?
Commercial real estate loan terms vary by program, use of funds, and borrower profile. SBA 7(a) financing through Franklin Financing Services can range from $150,000 to $5.0 million and may be used for purchases, construction, or refinancing. Some business term loans run 1 to 4 years, while bridge loans are typically shorter-term solutions designed to cover timing gaps.
How quickly can I get approved for financing?
Certain Franklin Financing Services programs offer quick approvals, including FAST TRACK business loans with answers in 24 to 48 hours and funding shortly after approval. Some funding can be available in as little as 3 days, while cash advance programs may fund in under 7 days. Larger commercial real estate or SBA transactions usually require more documentation and underwriting time.
Can I qualify if a bank already turned me down?
Yes, Franklin Financing Services works with businesses that may not qualify through traditional banks. The company’s positioning is built around access to multiple lending solutions, including alternatives for borrowers facing poor credit, late payments, or previous bank turndowns in certain programs. Approval still depends on revenue, debt obligations, cash flow, collateral, and the specific financing product selected.
What documents are needed for a commercial loan?
Documentation depends on the loan type. Revenue-based financing may require two years of financial statements, revenue by customer, a debt schedule, and projections if available. FAST TRACK term loans may only require an application and recent bank statements. SBA and commercial real estate loans typically involve more detailed business financials, ownership information, property details, and debt service review.
Do you offer commercial bridge loans?
Yes. Franklin Financing Services offers commercial bridge loans as part of its financing options. Bridge loans are commonly used when a business needs short-term capital before permanent financing, a property sale, a refinance, or another funding event is completed. They can help keep a purchase, renovation, or business opportunity moving when timing is critical.
Can financing be used for construction or refinancing?
Commercial real estate financing may be used for property purchases, construction, or refinancing, especially through SBA loan programs when the business and use of proceeds qualify. Franklin Financing Services also supports real estate investors with fix-and-flip financing and can help evaluate whether a bridge loan, SBA loan, or other structure fits the transaction and repayment plan.
Is there a free evaluation before applying?
Yes. Franklin Financing Services offers a free business financing evaluation for small to medium-sized businesses. The evaluation helps identify practical options such as SBA loans, commercial real estate financing, bridge loans, term loans, equipment leasing, or restructuring. It is designed to match your funding need, business profile, timeline, and available documentation with suitable lender programs.
