How Can a Commercial Real Estate Developer Benefit from an SBA Loan?
June 9, 20213 Mistakes Small Business Owners Make
June 9, 2021Did you know? Small business financing can be used for property not owned by the small business.
Whether you’re a new small business owner or a seasoned ‘veteran’, a certified lender can help you make SBA financing work for your commercial real estate arrangement. There are many reasons for a small business to avoid real estate ownership including tax breaks, legal advantages, or the use of outside capital.
In the case of a recent client, a separate small business can be formed to purchase commercial real estate to be leased to the business. This sort of situation is made possible through the formation of an eligible passive company, which is a separate entity that mirrors the ownership of the operating company. While the U.S. Small Business Administration does allow this process to work, there are several requirements that the eligible passive company must adhere to, so make sure to meet with a lending professional to learn more.
