What is a Term Loan:

A term loan is a loan taken for a specific amount of money that is paid back over a fixed period, with regular payments (monthly, quarterly, etc.). It can be short-term or long-term, depending on the duration and purpose of the loan. Companies often seek term loans to fund:

1. Business Expansion: Funds for growing operations, entering new markets, or setting up new locations.
2. Equipment or Machinery Purchase: Loans for purchasing new tools, machinery, or technology to improve production.
3. Working Capital: To support daily operational expenses like payroll, rent, and utilities.
4. Debt Refinancing: To consolidate or refinance existing high-interest debt with more favorable terms.
5. Project Financing: Loans to fund specific projects such as real estate developments, manufacturing, or infrastructure projects.
