Commercial Loans in Costa Rica

GAP Equity Loans reviews private property-backed financing requests for commercial-property owners, business owners, investors, developers, and project sponsors in Costa Rica. The proposed structure depends on the property, available equity, title, location, marketability, loan purpose, repayment plan, and exit strategy.


Commercial Property and Business-Purpose Financing

  • Financing secured by commercial buildings, offices, retail space, warehouses, hospitality properties, and income-producing real estate.
  • Property acquisitions and commercial-property purchases.
  • Equity and cash-out financing secured by existing commercial property.
  • Renovation, repositioning, expansion, completion, and selected construction needs.
  • Refinance, bridge, and short-term financing for a qualified commercial property or business purpose secured by property.
  • Selected development-related opportunities where legal access, utilities, buildable area, marketability, and available equity support the request.

Commercial financing is reviewed around both the real estate and the purpose of the request. Useful information may include the property location, current use, occupancy or rental income where relevant, requested amount, property value, title information, photographs, project details, repayment plan, and exit strategy.

What GAP Reviews

GAP reviews the property, title, liens, location, marketability, value, loan purpose, repayment plan, and exit strategy. For commercial opportunities, the current use of the property, income where relevant, project plan, and practical path to repayment may also be important. A complete, organized file helps GAP complete practical due diligence and prepare the request for the right financing review.

Closing Timing

Once the complete file is in and GAP due diligence is finished, qualified loans often close in about 10 business days. Timing can depend on property documents, legal work, banking, commercial information, and closing requirements.


Preparing a Commercial Loan Request

To begin, provide the property location, requested loan amount, current property value, property photographs, title information, commercial use or project details, and a clear explanation of how the loan will be repaid. Lawsen Tellier, Director of Operations, can help explain what is most important first and what can be gathered as the file moves forward.
