What to Check

Check the promissory note or loan agreement, borrower eligibility, principal, rate, APR, fee schedule, maturity, amortization method, repayment term, covenant, disclosure, and underwriting file.

Common Mistakes

  • Comparing loans only by stated interest rate instead of APR, fees, term, and repayment schedule.
  • Ignoring whether credit is open-end, revolving, installment, secured, or committed.
  • Treating eligibility for a program as proof of suitability or affordability.
  • Using loan labels without checking the actual borrower obligation.

In this section

Choose a subsection first. Deeper term pages live inside each subsection, which keeps large topic hubs readable.

Bank Line

A bank line is a credit arrangement or lending indication that gives a borrower access to funds up to a stated limit.

Commercial Lending

Commercial lending covers loans and credit facilities made to businesses for operations, investment, acquisitions, or refinancing.

Commitment Letter

A Commitment Letter is an official notification from a lender to a borrower indicating that the loan application has been approved and outlining the terms of the prospective loan.

Financial Facility

A financial facility is an arranged source of funding, credit, or liquidity that a borrower can use under agreed terms and limits.

Non-Revolving Bank Facility

A non-revolving bank facility provides credit that cannot be redrawn after repayment, making it closer to a term loan than a revolving line.

Term Loan

A term loan provides a fixed amount of credit repaid over a scheduled period, often with amortization, covenants, and stated maturity.
