Commercial Lending Disputes & Regulations in California

Oftentimes, it is a commercial loan that allows a business owner to open shop, purchase much-needed equipment, or expand his or her business. Commercial loans are extended to smaller businesses, large corporations, commercial property owners, real estate developers and others. Lenders are required to comply with certain state and federal regulations, which are meant to ensure that these financial institutions are dealing fairly and honestly with borrowers. This, however, has not stopped some lenders from violating these rules and engaging in deceptive lending practices, which is commonly referred to as "predatory lending."
