Use Cases

How Commercial Borrowers
Put This Capital to Work

No restrictions on use of proceeds. Here's how owners and investors leverage commercial equity loans from HardFunded.

01

Acquire New Commercial Assets

Pull equity from an existing commercial property to fund the acquisition of additional inventory — without qualifying through a bank or waiting 60 days for approval.

02

Tenant Improvements & Repositioning

Finance buildouts, common area upgrades, or a full repositioning strategy that increases occupancy, lease rates, and the ultimate value of the asset.

03

Refinance Existing Debt

Replace high-rate bridge loans, hard money, or maturing notes with a structured equity loan at competitive terms — faster and with far less paperwork.

04

Bridge to Permanent Financing

Use equity capital to cover a gap between acquisition and stabilization, while a property seasons for conventional permanent financing at a later date.

05

Business Capital & Operations

Owner-occupants can monetize the equity in their commercial space to fund operations, expansion, payroll, or strategic investments — without selling the property.

06

Partnership & Ownership Buyouts

Resolve co-ownership disputes, buy out a partner, or consolidate a partnership interest without restructuring the entire capital stack or selling the asset.


Why HardFunded

The Lender
That Reads
the Property.

Commercial lenders typically spend months reviewing financials that have nothing to do with the asset's value. We skip all of that.

01

50% Equity Is the Entire Qualification

No income ratio, no credit minimum, no financial profile review. If you own 50% of your commercial property free and clear of liens, you meet the one requirement we have. Everything else is noise.

02

No Credit or FICO Minimum — Ever

Your credit score isn't pulled, reviewed, or factored in at any stage. Borrowers with prior bankruptcies, charge-offs, foreclosures, or no credit history at all are approved regularly on the strength of their commercial equity.

03

Zero Income or Tax Documentation

No W-2s. No personal tax returns. No business returns. No profit and loss statements. No bank statements. Owners with complex income structures, offshore income, or self-employment get the same access as any other borrower.

04

Speed That Matches Commercial Deals

Commercial transactions move fast. Our 7–14 day close timeline keeps you competitive when a lease expires, a partner wants out, or an off-market acquisition suddenly appears.

05

Flexible Terms for Commercial Reality

Short-term structures, interest-only payment options, and extension availability let you match the loan to your actual business cycle — not a one-size-fits-all amortization schedule.

06

Loans Sized for Serious Commercial Deals

With a maximum loan of $5,000,000, HardFunded covers everything from a small retail strip acquisition to a significant office or industrial transaction. One program, real scale.

FAQ

Questions

Ask First.

Direct answers before you apply.

What is a commercial equity loan and how does it work? +
A commercial equity loan is a short-term loan secured by the equity in a commercial real estate asset — retail, office, industrial, mixed-use, or hospitality. HardFunded bases approval entirely on the property's current value relative to existing liens. If you hold 50% or more equity, you qualify. The loan is funded in a lump sum and repaid with interest over a 12-month to 3-year term. No income, tax, or credit review takes place at any stage.
Is there a minimum credit score or FICO requirement? +
No. There is no credit score minimum, and we do not pull your credit at any point during the application, underwriting, or closing process. Borrowers with prior commercial foreclosures, personal bankruptcies, tax liens, or no established credit history are eligible as long as they meet the 50% equity requirement on the commercial property.
Why are no tax returns or income docs required for a commercial loan? +
Because this is a pure asset-based loan. The commercial property's equity is the collateral and the qualification — your personal or business financials have no bearing on the loan's security. Banks require income documentation to gauge repayment risk on long-term amortized loans. Our short-term equity loans are secured against the asset itself, making your financial profile entirely irrelevant to the approval decision.
What commercial property types are eligible? +
We lend against retail properties (strip centers, storefronts, shopping plazas), office buildings (Class A, B, and C), industrial and warehouse facilities, mixed-use commercial buildings, and hospitality assets. The property must be located in the United States and must hold at least 50% equity. Owner-occupied commercial properties are eligible alongside investment-only commercial assets.
How exactly is the loan amount calculated? +
The loan amount is based on the equity in your commercial property above the 50% threshold. For example: if your commercial building is appraised at $2,000,000 and you carry $600,000 in debt against it, you hold $1,400,000 in equity — well above the 50% mark. The available loan is sized from that equity position. A commercial appraisal or broker price opinion is ordered during underwriting to establish current market value.
Can I use a commercial equity loan to purchase a new commercial property? +
Yes, with one structure: pull equity from an existing commercial property you already own (with 50%+ equity) and use those proceeds to fund a new acquisition. Alternatively, for pure acquisition financing, a 50% down payment on the new commercial property can also establish the equity position needed to qualify. Discuss your specific acquisition scenario when requesting a term sheet.
How long does it take to close a commercial equity loan? +
Our standard close timeline is 7–14 business days from inquiry to funded. For commercial properties, the main variable is the commercial appraisal — scheduling and turnaround times vary by market and property type. If you have an active deal, an expiring contract, or a time-sensitive need, tell us upfront and we will expedite the process and explore rush close options.
Can owner-occupied commercial properties qualify? +
Yes. We lend against both investment commercial properties and owner-occupied commercial real estate. A business that owns its building and carries 50% or more equity can access a commercial equity loan to fund operations, expansion, debt consolidation, or capital improvements — regardless of the business's income, credit history, or tax filings.
