What is a Term Loan?

A term loan is a business financing solution where a fixed amount is borrowed and repaid over a set tenure through scheduled instalments. 

It is typically used for:
  • Business expansion and new locations
  • Equipment or machinery purchases
  • Managing supplier payments and daily funding needs
  • Debt consolidation and financial optimisation
Unlike transactional credit lines, this structured financing offers full utility across your business cycle. In the SME landscape, working capital defines how you use the money, while a term loan is the flexible cash vehicle that delivers it. The funds can be utilised dynamically to support both long-term assets and short-term operational priorities.
