Term loans are generally used to purchase fixed assets with a long life span (e.g. property and buildings). They can also be used to refinance and consolidate existing debts, fund permanent working capital requirements, etc.
Development Loan Facilities
A development loan is a short term facility that has a defined clearance source. Interest rates are typically variable. The facility will also usually have a line fee, which is payable on the limit amount that is approved.
Development Loans are typically used to fund construction projects with clearance at the end of the project via the sale of the developed asset (e.g. units) or refinance onto a term facility.
