Commercial Lending

Founded in 1831, National Bank of Middlebury has served the financial needs of Vermont businesses for almost two centuries. We are a locally owned and managed bank and are proud to support and contribute to the local economies we serve.

NBM offers a complete portfolio of diverse loan options for your commercial financing needs—from purchasing, refinancing and building properties to renovating and development projects.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

Our Commercial Real Estate loans can be used to purchase, refinance, build or renovate properties and for real estate development projects. We offer three types of commercial mortgages:

  • Permanent Financing
  • Construction Loan
  • Acquisition, Development and Construction Loan

Term Loan

Our commercial term loans provide the financing you need for business related expenses.

  • Use the term loan for business expansion, equipment purchases, business acquisitions and more.
  • This loan has a specified repayment schedule at either a fixed or floating interest rate.

Letter of Credit

Like a bond, this credit instrument is actually a guarantee issued by National Bank of Middlebury guaranteeing payments on your behalf to a third party.

Land Loan

Revolving Line of Credit

This loan provides your business with ready cash to help with cash flow needs.

  • NBM commits to a specific amount that you can draw upon and repay as necessary.
  • You are granted a maximum credit limit from which you can make purchases.
  • You are charged monthly based on the amount of credit you have used. As you pay down the amount owed the amount you have available is reset.

Checking Overdraft Line of Credit

This loan automatically pays for any overdrafts that may arise on your business checking account.

  • There are interest charges on the amounts advanced to cover the transactions.
  • There are associated fees for insufficient funds as well.

Real Estate Construction Mortgage

Our commercial loans are designed for renovations or construction of commercial buildings. 

  • Phase 1: short term financing to fund construction and the lease-up part of the project.
  • Phase 2: long term permanent financing after the project has stabilized and leases are up to market levels of occupancy.
