Capital Partners helps organize the real estate request and the operating-company credit package so bank and CDC review move from the same set of facts.

What lenders review

A lender needs a clear explanation of the request, sponsor, project status, equity, timing, and repayment path. Those facts should agree across the executive summary, financial model, third-party reports, contracts, and borrower conversations.

  • Eligible owner occupancy at closing and over time
  • Operating-company cash flow and guarantor support
  • Total project costs, including eligible improvements
  • Environmental and appraisal requirements
  • Bank, CDC, and closing timeline coordination

The list is a starting point. A lender can add conditions based on its credit policy, market concentration, relationship requirements, and the risks it sees in the specific transaction.

Information to prepare

Prepare the property facts, requested amount, sponsor background, sources and uses, operating information, project status, timing, and repayment plan. Capital Partners identifies the remaining items after the first review.

Comparing lender structures

Bank, credit union, debt-fund, private, life-company, agency, CMBS, SBA, and equity sources solve different problems. The right path depends on the property's current condition and the events required before repayment.

Borrowers should compare proceeds, recourse, amortization, prepayment, reserves, extension rights, deposits, reporting, and closing certainty beside the stated interest rate. Those structural items can matter more than a small pricing difference.

How we place the request

Capital Partners first confirms the scenario and likely credit questions. The team then filters the private database, reviews the anonymous candidate set, and decides which lenders deserve a direct approach. The team manages follow-up, proposal comparison, and the path toward a selected term sheet.

Lender names and contact information stay private. The capital plan shows capital channels, not named lenders, and a principal shares matched lenders through the advisory process.

Common questions

How do I find sba 504 lenders for owner-user industrial property?

Start with the property, requested amount, location, borrower, and exact business plan. Capital Partners compares those facts with private lender criteria and then reviews the candidate set.

Will every matching lender quote the deal?

No. A criteria match is the beginning of lender review. Credit decisions also depend on the full package, current appetite, sponsor, property details, and lender capacity at the time of outreach.

Can I run an early-stage scenario?

Yes. The capital plan does not require documents. Capital Partners will identify the information needed before the request goes to lenders.

Place your owner-user industrial request with the right lender set.
