A Burlington, WA business license and the funding request
A business license is one of the first records a partner may ask to see, since it shows the business operates under its stated name and location. Washington business licensing runs through the Washington Department of Revenue business license page, and a city endorsement may be needed for a business inside city limits. Check with the City of Burlington at burlingtonwa.gov.
- Keep the license and its account number with the request.
- Make sure the name on the license matches the bank account and the tax return.
- Note the license address; it should match the lease.
Burlington, WA commercial real estate: listings, zoning and the lease
Commercial real estate in Burlington, WA comes up in two ways in a funding request: as the space a business leases, and as property a business might buy. Listings come from commercial real estate agents and listing sites; zoning comes from the city; ownership and assessed value come from the Skagit County, WA assessor.
Copperline does not arrange real estate loans. It can help with the equipment, build-out and working capital that go into a leased space.
Burlington, WA commercial property for sale: what a buyer checks before financing
- Is the purchase the building, the business, or both? Each is financed differently.
- Does zoning allow the planned use?
- What equipment comes with the sale, and is any of it still under a lien?
- Are there leases with other tenants that the buyer takes on?
A business purchase without the building can be financed with a term loan; the building needs a commercial mortgage, which is outside what Copperline arranges.
