Buy a commercial building

Buying space for your business or adding a property to your portfolio comes down to the property type, the loan amount, the timeline, and the parts of the deal a lender is likely to question.

You may be buying space for your business, adding another property to your portfolio, or trying to close before a seller moves on. Each of those changes what a lender will focus on.

We start by looking at the property type, the loan amount, the timeline, and the parts of the deal a lender is likely to question. Owner-occupied purchases can fit SBA or conventional programs. Investment purchases depend on the income and the property. A tight closing date changes which lenders can realistically get there.

The goal of the first conversation is simple: figure out which financing path fits before you spend money on reports, appraisals, or legal work.

Common questions

What kinds of buildings can I finance through BluRidge?
Office, retail, industrial, mixed-use, multifamily, hospitality, land, and owner-occupied commercial buildings.
Should I use SBA or conventional financing to buy a building?
It depends on whether the building is owner-occupied, your timeline, and your operating history. Owner-occupied purchases often fit SBA. We'll tell you which path fits before you commit.
How much down payment do I need to buy a commercial building?
Plan for roughly 25 to 35 percent down on a typical purchase, since commercial loans commonly fund at 65 to 75 percent of value. Owner-occupied SBA structures can require less.
Can I buy a commercial building with an SBA loan?
Yes, if your business will occupy a majority of the building. SBA financing is built for owner-occupants and can offer a lower down payment and long-term fixed rates.
What if the property is unusual or does not fit a bank?
Mixed-use, special-use, and non-conforming properties often fall outside bank programs. Bridge and creative financing can get these deals done when a conventional loan will not.
How fast can I close on a commercial purchase?
It depends on the financing. A bridge loan can close in less than a month, while conventional or SBA financing usually takes longer. The right path depends on your deadline.
