This document provides information on term loans and lease financing. It defines a term loan as a loan that is repaid with regular payments over a set time period, usually between 1-30 years. Term loans are commonly used for small business loans to finance expanding operations. The document also defines a lease as a contract where the owner of an asset allows another party to use the asset for an agreed period in exchange for rent payments. Various types of leases are described including financial leases, operating leases, and sale-leaseback arrangements. Considerations for term loans like fixed vs floating interest rates are also discussed.

1. TERM LOAN
&
LEASE FINANCING

2. Meaning
• A term loan is a
monetary loan that is repaid
in regular payments over a
set period of time. Term
loans usually last between
one and ten years, but may
last as long as 30 years in
some cases. A term loan
usually involves an
unfixed interest rate that
will add additional balance
to be repaid.

3. Usage
• Term loans can be given on an
individual basis but are often used
for small business loans. The ability
to repay over a long period of time
is attractive for new or expanding
enterprises, as the assumption is
that they will increase
their profit over time. Term loans
are a good way of quickly
increasing capital in order to raise a
business’ supply capabilities or
range. For instance, some new
companies may use a term loan to
buy company vehicles or rent more
space for their operations.

4. Considerations
One thing to consider when
getting a term loan is
whether the interest rate
is fixed or floating. A fixed
interest rate means that the
percentage of interest will
never increase, regardless of
the financial market. Floating
interest rates will fluctuate
with the market, which can
be good or bad for you
depending on what happens
with the global and national
economy.

5. Student loans
• Some student loans are essentially
term loans. In the United States,
the Stafford Loan is often offered
to college students as a means of
paying tution and living expenses.
This loan is unique in several
ways, and can be very beneficial
to students. Students are also
typically given a six month grace
period following graduation
before beginning repayments.

7. Meaning Of Lease
• “Lease is a contract whereby the owner of an
asset (lessor) grants to another party (lessee)
the exclusive right to use the asset usually for
an agreed period of time in return for the
payment of the rent.”
