Key Terms

syndicated revolving credit and term loan facility financial

A syndicated revolving credit and term loan facility is a package of financing provided by a group of banks or lenders that combines two types of borrowing: a revolving line you can draw, repay and draw again like a business credit card, and one or more term loans with fixed amounts and scheduled repayments. It matters to investors because it shapes a company’s cash flexibility, interest costs and debt repayment commitments—key factors for assessing liquidity, financial risk and growth capacity.

Term Loan A is a portion of a company’s syndicated bank loan that is paid down with regular principal installments over a set period, usually carries lower interest and a shorter maturity than other loan tranches. It matters to investors because its scheduled repayments and interest cost affect a company’s cash flow and borrowing needs; heavy near‑term payments can reduce cash available for dividends, investment or increase refinancing risk, much like a mortgage with larger monthly payments limits household flexibility.

A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.
