Our full range of business term loans offers both variable and fixed interest rates and flexible terms and payment options to ensure you find the right loan to suit your business’ needs. 

Operating Loans 

With a business operating loan, your business will have access to as much or as little as it needs, with member direct access. These short-term loans only charge interest on the amount you use for the time you need it. There are no set minimums, meaning this is one of the most cost-effective loans for businesses. This is an exceptional option for businesses that are reassessing their current small business financing plan and expenses.  

Commercial Mortgages 

If you are in the process of refinancing, developing a commercial property or expanding your business’ operations, a commercial mortgage may be the ideal solution. Advantages of a commercial mortgage include small business financing for both existing and new properties, personalized service from business finance experts, easy access to loan information online or through OCU’s app, flexible payment option and quick approvals.
