Commercial property loans that make use of real estate as collateral are a little different from residential real estate loans.

Like residential property loans, a building will be used in order to secure repayment from the debtor except the collateral is a commercial building instead of a residence. Additionally, a business will take on a commercial property loan most of the time, rather than an individual.

The borrower may be a partnership, incorporated business, or limited company, so assessment of the creditworthiness of the business can be more complicated than is the case with residential mortgages.

Some commercial property loans are nonrecourse, meaning that in the event of default in repayment, the creditor can only seize the collateral, but has no further claim against the borrower for any remaining deficiency. This is a contrast to the norm with residential property loans, in which a lender can usually seize other assets of the borrower in the event of non-payment.

Frequently, the mortgage is supplemented by a general obligation of the borrower or a personal guarantee from the owner(s), which makes the debt payable in full even if foreclosure on the mortgaged collateral does not satisfy the outstanding balance.
