The borrower may be a partnership, incorporation, or limited company and the assessment of the business can be a more complicated process. Commercial loan approval primary focuses more on the asset class, income and expense and borrower ability to service the loan.  Commercial loan up to 80% loan to value contingent on the asset class and location.
