A business loan agreement is a contract drawn between a business in need of funds and a lender. It is a complex document, often difficult to read and understand, especially for the uninitiated. Crucial to the working of the agreement are the many clauses listed in the document. These are put in place to protect the interest of the lender and are typically negotiable. When you apply for a business loan, discuss such clauses with the financial representative to save yourself from confusions in the future. Here are the important clauses present in a business loan agreement you should know about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interest Rate Fluctuation Clause<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\nare two types of interest rates that a lender might impose on your loan\nagreement – fixed and variable. A fixed interest rate agreement would require\nyou to pay a fixed amount of interest, regardless of prevailing market\nconditions. A variable interest agreement, on the other hand, requires you to\npay interest based on a rate that varies according to market conditions. Based\non the market conditions of the time, be careful to negotiate an interest rate\ntype that suits you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Default Clause<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Default\nis generally defined as the non-repayment of a loan to a bank. However, it is\nimportant to get the exact definition of default with your bank, as it may\ndiffer with every financial institution. A default can also be declared in case\nof the borrower\u2019s death or involvement in a criminal or civil case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Cover Clause<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nclause specifies what assets or personal guarantee the borrower will provide\nagainst the loan withdrawn. The property to be purchased by the business is\nmost often the security provided. Additional security can be demanded by the\nbank if the value of the current security falls due to market fluctuation.\nWhile it is often better for the borrower to not give security, unsecured loans\ntend to have a higher interest rate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repayment Clause <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the most important clause of the loan agreement and determines the time period of the loan. There are two types of repayment clauses – repayable on demand and fixed-term. In the former, you will have to keep a sum of money for repayment at all times, as it may be demanded at any time by the bank. This makes business expenditure planning very difficult. Hence, it is preferable for you to choose a fixed-term repayment clause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
