FAQ

Not all commercial real estate projects are created equal. BDC’s real estate loan does not cover the construction or operation of private schools, retirement homes or residential development projects. A good rule of thumb is to ensure that your project is zoned for commercial use.

Once your loan application has been submitted for review, you will be asked to supply one or more of the following documents:

  1. Company financial statements
  2. Purchase offer
  3. Phase I environmental report
  4. Assessment report (asset and/or structure value)  
  5. List of leases, if applicable  
Commercial real estate financing transactions require specific, detailed analysis. We recommend allowing ample time for the financing process to avoid potential delays or issues with the sale.
BDC’s commercial real estate loan can offer extra financing —up to 100% of the total project costs—to cover extra expenses.
