Term Loan vs Promissory Note: Two Words for Related Things
A promissory note is the signed promise to pay that sits behind a loan: the amount, the rate, the schedule and what happens on default. A term loan is the arrangement as a whole. Every term loan has a note, and a seller-financed note in a business purchase is a promissory note with the seller as the party being paid.
Business Loan vs Commercial Loan: Is There a Difference?
The two phrases overlap. "Commercial loan" tends to mean a loan to a business from a bank's commercial lending side, sometimes for larger amounts or real estate. "Business loan" is broader. What matters is the structure, not the label, and the six funding types compared sets out the structures.
Small Business Loan vs Line of Credit: One Question That Decides
Ask whether the need happens once or keeps coming back. A one-time purchase with a known price fits a loan; a gap that opens and closes fits a line of credit. Some businesses carry both: a loan for a lift and a line for payroll.
