Owner-User Lending

Financing for business owners purchasing or refinancing the real estate their company operates from.

Owner-user loans are qualified on your company's financials rather than a property's Net Operating Income, since there's no third-party tenant income to underwrite. Lenders typically run a separate division for these requests, and the property itself can be industrial, office, retail, or a specialized use like self-storage where the owner also operates the business. SBA-backed options can offer up to 90% financing, which is often the only path for a company with limited equity to purchase instead of continuing to lease.
