Each payment reduces both the <strong>principal<\/strong> (the original loan amount) and <strong>interest<\/strong>.<br>\r\n<em>Example:<\/em> A 5-year equipment loan for a CT scanner is amortized over 60 monthly payments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Annual Percentage Rate (APR)<\/h4>\r\n<p>The total yearly cost of borrowing, including both the interest rate and additional fees.<br>\r\n<strong>Tip:<\/strong> Compare APRs\u2014not just interest rates\u2014when evaluating loan offers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Asset-Based Lending (ABL)<\/h4>\r\n<p>A loan secured by your business\u2019s assets, such as equipment, inventory, or receivables.<br>\r\n<em>Common in:<\/em> Diagnostic labs and medtech startups with valuable fixed assets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Balloon Payment<\/h4>\r\n<p>A large, lump-sum payment due at the end of a short-term loan.<br>\r\n<strong>Risk:<\/strong> You\u2019ll need cash or refinancing to make the final payment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Bridge Loan<\/h4>\r\n<p>A short-term loan that \u201cbridges the gap\u201d until longer-term financing is in place.<br>\r\n<em>Use case:<\/em> Covering costs while waiting for an SBA loan approval.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Capital Expenditure (CapEx)<\/h4>\r\n<p>Funds used to acquire or upgrade physical assets (buildings, equipment).<br>\r\n<em>Financed via:<\/em> Term loans or equipment financing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Collateral<\/h4>\r\n<p>Assets pledged to secure a loan. If you default, the lender can seize the collateral.<br>\r\n<em>Example:<\/em> An ultrasound machine used to secure an equipment loan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Credit Score<\/h4>\r\n<p>A number (300\u2013850) that lenders use to assess your creditworthiness. Business loans often consider both <strong>personal<\/strong> and <strong>business<\/strong> credit scores.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)<\/h4>\r\n<p>A financial metric that compares your cash flow to your loan payments.<br>\r\n<em>Formula:<\/em> Net Operating Income \u00f7 Debt Payments<br>\r\n<em>Requirement:<\/em> A DSCR above 1.25 is often needed for SBA loans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Default<\/h4>\r\n<p>Failure to repay a loan as agreed. Can trigger penalties, legal action, or loss of collateral.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Draw Period<\/h4>\r\n<p>The time during which you can withdraw funds from a <strong>line of credit<\/strong>. After this period, you enter repayment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Equipment Financing<\/h4>\r\n<p>A type of loan used to buy or lease medical equipment. The equipment itself often serves as collateral.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Factor Rate<\/h4>\r\n<p>Used in <strong>merchant cash advances<\/strong> or <strong>invoice factoring<\/strong>. It's a decimal (e.g. 1.2) representing the total repayment amount.<br>\r\n<em>Example:<\/em> 1.2 on $100K = $120K total repayment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Fixed Rate vs. Variable Rate<\/h4>\r\n<p><strong>Fixed rate:<\/strong> Interest stays the same throughout the loan.<br>\r\n<strong>Variable rate:<\/strong> Interest fluctuates with the market (e.g., tied to prime rate).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Invoice Factoring<\/h4>\r\n<p>Selling unpaid invoices to a lender (called a <em>factor<\/em>) in exchange for immediate cash.<br>\r\n<em>Popular with:<\/em> Home care services, clinics reliant on insurance billing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Line of Credit (LOC)<\/h4>\r\n<p>A flexible loan that lets you draw funds as needed, up to a limit. Interest is paid only on the amount used.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Loan-to-Value Ratio (LTV)<\/h4>\r\n<p>A percentage that shows how much of an asset\u2019s value is being financed.<br>\r\n<em>Example:<\/em> Financing $80K of a $100K X-ray machine = 80% LTV.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Merchant Cash Advance (MCA)<\/h4>\r\n<p>A lump-sum advance repaid via a percentage of future card sales. Quick but expensive.<br>\r\n<strong>Caution:<\/strong> High fees\u2014use only when necessary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Origination Fee<\/h4>\r\n<p>A one-time fee charged by the lender for processing the loan. Usually 1%\u20135% of the loan amount.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Personal Guarantee<\/h4>\r\n<p>An agreement where the business owner is personally liable for repaying the loan, even if the business defaults.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Prepayment Penalty<\/h4>\r\n<p>A fee for paying off your loan early. Not all loans have this\u2014<strong>check the fine print<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Principal<\/h4>\r\n<p>The original amount of money borrowed\u2014before interest and fees.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Repayment Term<\/h4>\r\n<p>The length of time you have to repay the loan. Can range from a few months to 25 years depending on the loan type.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4>SBA Loan<\/h4>\r\n<p>A loan partially guaranteed by the <strong>Small Business Administration<\/strong>.
