Term Loan
Business term loans are the most basic form of loans to take out. They are usually simple and straightforward and have no specially designated purpose, like equipment loans or acquisition loans. Term loans can be taken out for whatever a business needs.
The interest rate for a term loan is usually fixed, and payments are made monthly or quarterly. The loan lasts for a previously specified period of time, called the term. Term loans are not generally taken out for the short term, but are divided into intermediate and long-term loans. Intermediate loans last between one and three years, and are paid monthly, and may include a balloon payment, a large chunk of the loan paid off all at once, usually towards the end of the term.
A long term loan may be from three to 10 years--or up to 20 years, depending on the amount. Both long and intermediate term loans require collateral, and both have a rather stringent approval process. However, monthly payments are generally lower than those of other types of loans, and most other loans do not offer a fixed interest rate automatically. Business term loans are best for small but financially sound businesses looking to fund construction or other types of business growth projects.
