Businesses and small-to-medium commercial enterprises come in so many shapes and sizes, the commercial loans they need to operate have to as well.
You may think commercial mortgages are the same as residential mortgages, but they require specialised knowledge and limits, are usually larger, and come with smaller loan-to-value ratios than housing loans.
