Long-Term Needs

As your business evolves over the long term, you will need to make significant investments, restructure financing arrangements or change the ownership structure.

Businesses usually use long term financing solutions for heavy capital investments or expenditure.

You are on: Long-Term Loans tab

A long term loan is a type of loan, with a maturity date of greater than 12 months, which is granted to finance capital expenditure, such as the purchase of fixed assets – e.g. machinery or equipment. The funds may be accessed in either a single or in multiple draw-downs as best suits the situation.

This loan is not of a revolving nature and therefore must be repaid in accordance with the clearly defined repayment schedule. The term of the loan may not exceed the useful life of the asset.

Our long term loans are available in domestic currency, or USD, subject to the verification of business’ earnings in USD.

Financing the purchase of expensive property, plant, machinery and equipment, undertaking improvements to premises, or for project-financing.
