Frequently Asked Questions

A typical commercial loan is a loan that is designed for businesses and other commercial entities to finance their operations or investments. These loans can be used for a variety of purposes, such as purchasing equipment or property, financing inventory or accounts receivable, or expanding the business. Commercial loans typically have higher borrowing limits and longer repayment terms than personal loans and may require collateral to secure the loan. The interest rates associated with commercial loans can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the borrower's creditworthiness, the amount being borrowed, and the term of the loan. Tidemark offers a range of commercial loan products to meet the needs of our business members. If you have any further questions about our commercial loan products or would like to apply for a loan, please do not hesitate to contact us!

When evaluating a commercial loan application, we typically look at several factors to determine whether to approve the loan and what terms to offer. These factors may include:

Creditworthiness: Review the credit history and credit score of both the business and the business owner(s). This includes evaluating payment history, outstanding debts, and any bankruptcies or foreclosures.
Business financials: Analyze the financial statements of the business, including income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements, to assess the financial health of the company and its ability to generate revenue.
Collateral: We may require collateral to secure the loan, such as real estate, inventory, or equipment. The value and liquidity of the collateral will be evaluated to determine the amount of the loan and the terms.
Business plan: Review the business plan to understand the purpose of the loan and the potential for future growth and profitability.
Industry and market trends: We may evaluate the industry and market trends to assess the potential risks and opportunities associated with the loan.

We do understand that every business owner's financial situation is unique. At Tidemark, we recognize this and strive to offer a variety of loan options to best suit your needs. Our lending experts are here to work with you to find the loan that is the right fit for you and your business.

The credit score required for a commercial loan can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of loan, the size of the loan, and the creditworthiness of the borrower. While a high credit score can be a positive factor when evaluating a commercial loan application, it is not the only factor that we consider. We also look at the financial health of the business, the business plan, the purpose of the loan, and the collateral available to secure the loan.

That being said, a credit score is an important indicator of an applicant's creditworthiness, and a lower credit score may indicate a higher risk of defaulting on the loan. Therefore, a credit score of 680 or above is typically a good starting point for a commercial loan application. However, we encourage all business owners to speak with one of our lending experts to discuss their individual financial situation and determine the best loan option for their needs.

The length of a commercial loan can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the purpose of the loan, the financial health of the borrower, and the amount being borrowed. Generally, commercial loans have terms ranging from one to ten years, although some loans may have shorter or longer terms. Additionally, some loans may be structured with a balloon payment due at the end of the term, while others may have regular payments throughout the term of the loan. We work closely with our commercial loan customers to determine the best loan term for their specific needs and financial situation. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
