What Is Corporate Lending?

Corporate lending consists of lending institutions, usually banks, loaning funds to businesses rather than individuals. Corporate lending and business loans enable businesses to get capital to pay for various business expenses that the employer would otherwise be unable to afford.

For Example:

Businesses might take out a corporate loan to finance the construction of a new office building or pay for network infrastructure and upgrades. Corporate lending as a practice helps businesses grow as it gives them immediate access to liquid capital to expand operations and hire more employees.

Since corporate loans go to businesses and other large institutions, they usually are larger and have a much wider scope than personal loans or small business administration loans. More specifically, lenders can tailor corporate loans to a business's specific circumstances, whether they need short-term cash relief or long-term loans for acquiring business properties.

Asset Lending

Asset lending is a type of secured loan when a business secures a loan by using a specific piece of collateral, such as business real estate or equipment.

If the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender can repossess the collateral to recover any missing loan funds.

Structured Finance

Structured finance agreements are more complicated lines of credit agreements meant for larger organizations with complex finances that traditional loans cannot satisfy. Structured finance loans typically involve non-tradable assets being converted into financial instruments for investors to purchase.

Cash Flow Lending

Cash flow lending is a type of corporate lending in which a lender provides a lump sum cash loan to the borrower. Businesses primarily use cash-flow loans to cover immediate cash obligations, such as payroll or business liquidity. Since cash flow loans are unsecured (i.e., they don’t have collateral), they usually have higher credit requirements and stricter loan terms.

Essential Components To Incorporate an Employee Loan Agreement

Employee loans are a type of corporate lending program where a business lends an employee money. Not all employers offer employee loans, but they can be part of an employee benefits package. Employee loans exist for various expenses, such as personal loans, transportation loans, home loans, and more. The benefit of loans from a work program is that employers are free to set the terms however they like.



Workforce lending is similar to other types of lending, and employee loans have the same core components as other loans.

Loan Covenant

The loan covenant is the main part of the loan agreement and includes all the smaller agreements that determine conditions and limitations on the borrower and lender's behavior. For example, the loan covenant might state that the borrower has to maintain a specific debt-to-income ratio or that the borrower can’t sell the underlying asset to repay a loan. The main point of a loan covenant is ensuring the lender and borrower’s incentives are aligned.

Loan Principal

The loan principal refers to the amount that the employee will borrow and pay back, plus interest. Principal amounts will differ depending on the type of employee loan. For example, the principal on an employee mortgage loan will be much larger than the principal for an employee personal loan.

Loan Term

The loan term includes the total length of the payback period. Loan terms can range from a few months for short-term personal loans to 15 to 30 years for mortgage loans. The loan term also defines payment structure—i.e., whether the borrower pays monthly, annually, etc.

Interest Rate

The interest rate determines the amount of interest the loan accrues per compounding period. Most traditional loans compound interest monthly, but businesses are free to set interest rates and compounding periods as they wish for employee loans. Generally, the longer the loan term, the further apart compounding periods are. For example, a long-term mortgage loan might compound monthly, while a loan with a term of a few months might compound weekly.

Default Terms

The loan's default terms stipulate the exact conditions under which the loan goes into default. For instance, default terms may define the loan as in default if the borrower misses a payment and doesn’t make up the payment within 30 days. Default terms also usually define a “cure period,” which is the timeframe in which the borrower has to correct their loan default.

State-Level Guidelines

Employee loans are legally on par with other kinds of traditional loans, so they must abide by all state-level guidelines for issuing loans. For example, most states have wage reduction laws that state that businesses cannot deduct a worker’s pay below minimum wage if they deduct loan payments from the borrower's wages or salary. Any corporate lending program must abide by state-level loan laws, so it's important to make sure your organization is in compliance, or else you can pay penalties.
