A business term loan is a type of financing that is commonly used by businesses to fund their operations or expansion plans. It’s a loan that is provided to a business for a specific period of time, typically ranging from one to five years, and is repaid with interest over the term of the loan.

Business Partners offers a range of financial offerings to support SMEs across various industries. Term loans are one of these services since they offer SMEs a lump sum of financing that can be utilised for everything from business development to commercial property investments.
