A loan is a type of debt. Like all debt instruments, a loan entails the redistribution of financial assets over 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.

Acting as a provider of loans is one of the principal tasks for financial institutions. For other institutions, issuing of debt contracts such as bonds is a typical source of funding.

How do I loan money from the bank to open a small business?
Q. I want to open a little fashion retail store that cost about $100,000. What is the requirements I need to have so that the bank can loan me the money. What documents and information will they need from me for this loan?
Asked by crazygirl - Thu Nov 20 12:23:24 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Now's a bad time to get a loan as the credit market remains very very tight (meaning banks are hardly lending except to those with very good qualification criteria) Some banks extend what they call "small business lines of credit" often through credit cards. Those are easier to get and can be based on your credit history alone. They typically are up to $100,000. For example, Wachovia's has various business lines of credits Their business line of credit can even be approved overnight, However, if you're applying for a loan and if it is a big amount, banks and even the SBA may consider other factors aside from your business credit: - A business plan explaining what the business is - Your background and experience in the business -- in… [cont.]

What is the loan modification with your mortgage while in Chapter 13 bankruptcty?
Q. After filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy (mortgage included -fixed rate) my husband became unemployed, so we are now 6 months behind on our mortgage and our attorneys are submitting for a loan modification, what is the process? Is a loan modification always granted? My husband is now currently working and has been for 3 months now, it has just taken us this long to finally get in touch with our attorneys and also the mortgage lenders attorneys.

A. no not always. If the lender and the trustee believe that you cannot honor the payment plan then they will take the home out of the bankruptcy filing by a motion from the lenders attorney and foreclose on your home. The worst thing is that he lost his job so how can you even pay the trustee the required payments unless you were on a short schedule and modify it to the full 5 years
