A term loan is a type of loan provided by financial institutions or lenders to borrowers for a specific period, typically with a fixed interest rate. The borrower receives a lump sum amount upfront and repays the loan over the agreed term through regular instalments. The term loan may be used for various purposes, such as financing business expansion, purchasing equipment or property, or funding a large project. For example, a manufacturing company may obtain a term loan to purchase new machinery to increase production capacity. The loan is then repaid over several years with interest. The terms and conditions of the term loan, including the repayment schedule and interest rate, are agreed upon between the borrower and the lender before the loan is disbursed.
