3. Loan in finances
●
●
●
In finance, a loan is a debt evidenced by a note which specifies, among other things, the
principal amount, interest rate, and date of repayment. A loan entails the reallocation of
the subject asset(s) for a period of time, between the lender and the borrower.
In a loan, the borrower initially receives or borrows an amount of money, called the
principal, from the lender, and is obligated to pay back or repay an equal amount of
money to the lender at a later time. Typically, the money is paid back in regular
installments, or partial repayments; in an annuity, each installment is the same amount.
The loan is generally provided at a cost, referred to as interest on the debt, which
provides an incentive for the lender to engage in the loan. In a legal loan, each of these
obligations and restrictions is enforced by contract, which can also place the borrower
under additional restrictions known as loan covenants. Although this article focuses on
monetary loans, in practice any material object might be lent.
