Glossary
Commercial Deal Desk Glossary
Search, filter by category, or jump by letter. Built for business acquisitions, construction funding, and equipment financing.
Tip: combine filters + search (ex: filter “Construction” then search “draw”).
ACH (Automated Clearing House)
Electronic bank-to-bank payments used for recurring debits/credits (common for loan payments and vendor payables).
Asset Purchase Agreement (APA)
Acquisition contract where the buyer purchases selected assets (and sometimes assumed liabilities) rather than the entire entity.
Amortization
Scheduled principal paydown over time. A loan can be amortized even if the term is shorter (balloon maturity).
Accounts Receivable (A/R)
Money owed to a business by customers. Often used in borrowing base/asset-based lending.
Assignment of Rents
A security instrument allowing a lender to collect rents if the borrower defaults (common in income-producing CRE).
Appraisal
Third-party opinion of value used by lenders to size and secure the loan.
Balance Sheet
Financial statement showing assets, liabilities, and equity at a point in time. Key for business acquisition underwriting.
Balloon Payment
Large final payoff due at maturity when term is shorter than amortization period.
Bridge Loan
Short-term financing used to bridge timing gaps (acquire → rehab → stabilize → refinance/sell).
Borrowing Base
Max loan amount supported by eligible collateral (commonly A/R and inventory), after applying advance rates and exclusions.
Business Valuation
Determining business value using cash flow, assets, comps, risk, and deal structure. Drives loan sizing and equity needs.
Cap Rate (Capitalization Rate)
Property valuation metric: NOI ÷ Price. Used to compare income properties.
Cash Flow
Net income remaining after operating expenses and debt service (or before debt service, depending on context).
Collateral
Assets pledged to secure a loan (real estate, equipment, A/R, inventory, etc.).
Construction Loan
Short-term financing for building/major rehab, disbursed in draws based on inspections and lien waivers.
Contingency Reserve
Budget line for unforeseen costs. Lenders often require a contingency percentage in construction deals.
Covenants
Loan agreement requirements (ratios, reporting, limits on additional debt, liquidity minimums, etc.).
Customer Concentration
Revenue reliance on a few customers. High concentration increases risk and can reduce lendable value.
Debt Service
Total principal + interest payments due over a period (monthly/annually).
DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio)
NOI ÷ Annual Debt Service. A core approval metric for income properties and some business cash-flow loans.
Debt Yield
NOI ÷ Loan Amount. Helps lenders judge risk independent of interest rate.
Draw Schedule
Planned release of construction funds tied to milestones, inspections, lien waivers, and budget controls.
Due Diligence
Verification process (financials, contracts, customers, assets, liabilities, compliance) before closing an acquisition.
EBITDA
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization—common in acquisition underwriting and valuation.
Earnout
Seller receives additional compensation if the business hits performance targets after closing (can reduce upfront cash needs).
Equipment Financing
A loan or lease secured by machinery, vehicles, or heavy equipment used for operations.
Equipment Lease
Agreement allowing equipment use for periodic payments, often with a buyout option at term end.
Environmental Report (Phase I / Phase II)
Due diligence to identify environmental risk. Phase II involves sampling if concerns are discovered.
FMV Lease (Fair Market Value)
Lease where end-of-term purchase price is the equipment’s market value at that time.
Fixed Rate
Interest rate stays the same during a defined period (sometimes the entire term).
Financial Statements
Typically includes P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and tax returns. Lenders validate trends and add-backs.
Guarantee (Personal/Corporate)
Promise to repay if borrower defaults. May be full, limited, or include carve-outs depending on deal type.
General Contractor (GC)
Company responsible for managing construction, subcontractors, schedules, and delivery per contract.
Interest-Only (IO)
Payments cover interest only for a set period; principal doesn’t amortize during IO.
Inventory Financing
Funding secured by inventory; usually includes eligibility rules and frequent reporting/field exams.
Lien Waiver
Document from contractors/subs stating they’ve been paid and waive lien rights for that payment period (important for draws).
LTV (Loan-to-Value)
Loan Amount ÷ Value. Lower LTV generally reduces lender risk.
LTARV (Loan-to-After-Repair Value)
Loan Amount ÷ After-Repair Value. Common in rehab/bridge construction-style loans.
Maturity Date
Date the loan ends and remaining principal is due (payoff, refinance, or sale exit).
Mezzanine Financing
Capital between senior debt and equity; higher cost, may include profit participation or warrants.
NOI (Net Operating Income)
Income after operating expenses, before debt service and taxes. Core input for DSCR and cap rate.
Non-Recourse
Loan where lender’s remedy is primarily the collateral rather than the borrower’s other assets (often with carve-outs).
Purchase Agreement
Contract that governs acquisition terms: price, assets/liabilities, representations, close timeline, and contingencies.
Prepayment Penalty
Fee for paying off early (yield maintenance, defeasance, step-down, or percentage penalty depending on loan type).
Permanent Financing
Long-term takeout loan that replaces construction financing after completion and stabilization.
Performance Bond
Surety guarantee that the contractor will complete the project per contract specifications.
Recourse
Loan structure allowing lender to pursue borrower assets beyond the collateral upon default (per the agreement).
Refinance
Replacing an existing loan to change rate/terms, pull cash out, or transition from construction/bridge to permanent debt.
Residual Value
Estimated equipment value at end of lease term; influences lease payments and buyout options.
SBA (7(a) / 504)
Government-backed programs that can improve approvals/terms for acquisitions, owner-occupied CRE, and equipment (subject to rules).
Seller Financing
Seller carries part of the purchase price as a note. Often used to reduce cash down and improve bank/SBA structure.
Stabilized
Property has consistent occupancy/income at market levels—often required for permanent financing.
Underwriting
The lender’s risk evaluation: borrower, cash flow, collateral, structure, documentation, and exit plan.
UCC Filing
Public notice that a lender has a secured interest in business assets/equipment used as collateral.
Variable Rate
Interest rate that adjusts based on an index (SOFR/Prime) plus a margin.
Zoning
Local land-use rules impacting what can be built/operated; can affect value, approvals, and lender eligibility.
