Commercial Loans
A commercial loan is a debt-based funding arrangement between a business and a financial institution, typically used to fund major capital expenditures and or cover operational costs. This is short-term in nature and is almost always supported by collateral. Commercial loans can be acquired with flexible interest rates. The borrower is required to present their regular financial statements. Commercial loans have high upfront prices.
Term Loan
A term loan is a monetary loan that is repaid in regular payments over a set period. Term loans usually last between one and ten years as well as up to 30 years in some cases. A term loan usually involves an unfixed interest rate that will add additional balance to be repaid.
Unsecured Loan
An unsecured loan is a loan that is issued and supported only by the borrower’s credit worthiness, rather than by any type of collateral. An unsecured loan is one that is obtained without the use of property as collateral for the loan. It is also called a signature loan or a personal loan.
Acquisition Loan
An acquisition loan is provided to a company for the purchase of a particular asset. In this case, the asset that needs to be acquired is determined before the loan is taken. These loans are often taken when a company does not have enough liquid capital to complete an acquisition. Businesses are more likely to get these loans because the asset has tangible value and the funds are not induced into capital to support monthly operations.
Revolving Credit
Revolving credit is a line of credit where the customer pays a bank or financial institution with a commitment fee so that he or she may borrow money. The customer is allowed to use the funds when needed. This revolving credit is usually used for different operating purposes. The amount drawn may fluctuate depending on a client’s cash flow needs.
Cash Flow Loan
Cash flow is the movement of money into or out of a business, project, or financial product. It is usually measured during a specified, limited period. Measurement of cash flow can be used for calculating other parameters that give information on a company’s value and situation. Cash flow can be used, for example, for calculating parameters. It discloses cash movements over the period to determine a project’s rate of return or value. The time of cash flows into and out of projects are used as inputs in financial models, such as internal rate of return and net present value, to determine problems with a business’s liquidity. Being profitable does not necessarily mean being liquid. A company can fail because of a shortage of cash even while profitable as an alternative measure of a business’s profits when it is believed that accrual accounting concepts do not represent economic realities. For instance, a company may be notionally profitable but generating little operational cash. In such a case, the company may be deriving additional operating cash by issuing shares or raising additional debt finance.
Working Capital Loan
A working capital loan is a loan that is taken to finance the everyday operations of a company. Working capital loans are not used to buy long-term assets or investments and are, instead, used to cover accounts payable, wages, etc.
Bridge Loans
A bridge loan is a short-term loan used until a person or company secures permanent financing or removes an existing obligation. This type of financing allows the user to meet current obligations by providing immediate cash flow. The loans are short-term and up to one year with relatively high interest rates. They are usually backed by some form of collateral such as real estate or inventory.
Line of Credit
A line of credit is a credit source extended to a government, business, or individual by a bank or other financial institution. A line of credit may take several forms, such as overdraft protection, demand loan, special purpose, export packing credit, term loan, discounting, purchase of commercial bills, traditional revolving credit card account, etc.
