A term loan can fund the business side of such a purchase: equipment, goodwill, opening stock and some working capital. The building and the land are outside this site, so a seller who owns the property sells or leases it separately.

Illustration only, invented figures: a $240,000 price for the business, $48,000 of the buyer's own cash, and $192,000 financed at an annual rate of 10.25% for 84 months. Every one of the 84 installments comes to $3,212.28, and together they add to $269,831.52.

• A signed letter of intent or purchase agreement showing how much of the price is for kitchen equipment, how much for goodwill and how much for stock on the shelves.
• The seller's recent profit and loss statements and business tax returns.
• A copy of the restaurant's lease, with the landlord's signed OK for the buyer to take it on.
• A short record of the buyer's years cooking on a line, running a bar or managing a dining room.

It is the plain version of business borrowing: an agreed amount, an agreed rate and a fixed number of payments. For a winery that can mean a set of stainless tanks, a labeling machine, a refrigeration unit or a second tasting room's furnishings. Small is the right word for many of them: 59 of the 127 winery employer establishments in Yamhill County, OR had fewer than five employees in 2023 (County Business Patterns).

Each payment on an amortizing loan pays the interest that built up that month, and the rest reduces the balance. As the balance falls, the interest part shrinks and more of the same payment goes to principal.

A clinic can use a schedule like this for treatment tables, rehab equipment, an electronic records system or the purchase of a retiring practitioner's practice (the business side, not the building).

Here, commercial means for the business, not for property. A painting or flooring contractor can use a commercial term loan to buy out a partner, take over a smaller crew with its trailers and sprayers, or pay for a package of tools in one go. Finishing contractors with paid staff numbered 31 at ZIP 97128 addresses in 2023 (ZIP Code Business Patterns, NAICS 2383). In a separate program, Nonemployer Statistics counted 103 finishing contractors in Yamhill County, OR with no paid employees in 2024.

Property stays out of it: no real estate purchases and no building construction loans go through this site.

Illustration only, invented figures. On the term-loan side, $60,000 borrowed for 48 months at an annual rate of 9.75% asks for $1,514.56 each month, and the four years of installments carry $12,698.88 of interest. Line of credit: $20,000 drawn for 90 days at a 12% annual rate on the drawn balance, about $591.78 of interest, then paid off.

The line costs far less in this example because the money is out for three months, not four years. The term loan wins when the purchase itself lasts for years, such as tanks or a labeling line, and one fixed payment can be budgeted for the whole span. The line of credit page works through draws in more detail.

A business term loan fits the purchase price, with equipment financing as an option for the diagnostic scanners, tire machines and alignment rack if the buyer replaces them.
