What is a Medium-Term Loan?
Medium-term loans are business loans offered by banks and BitX Funding. They typically offer fixed interest rates and flexible payback terms between one and five years. Depending on the loan, you typically have the option to repay in monthly or bi-monthly installments with no penalty for prepaying. While there is generally no need for collateral, lenders may request a personal guarantee to secure the loan.
When is a Medium-Term Loan Beneficial?
Medium-term business loans are useful when your business is past the startup phase, and you need capital to fund an acquisition or other expansion project.
In comparison, short-term loans usually provide a quick injection of working capital and must be repaid within a year. Two popular examples of short-term financing are merchant cash advances and business lines of credit.
With long-term loans, the recipient will repay the loan over a longer time.
On the other hand, medium-term loans may take one to three weeks to secure but offer longer repayment periods. Typically, lenders offer medium-term loan amounts up to $500,000 with average interest rates ranging from 6 percent to 20 percent APR.
In addition, the lender may also charge an origination fee. Since repayment terms can be extended up to five years, the project you are funding has time to mature and generate the cash flow you need to pay off the loan.
