What is a Loan Note?
We’ve made it quick and convenient for you to understand what a loan note is, why companies raise funds this way and what you could be earning by investing...
A loan note is simply a form of 'IOU' from a company to an investor. The investor agrees to make a loan to the company and the company agrees to repay it at a future date, with interest.
It is a financial instrument that contractually specifies when the loan must be repaid, the interest payable and any further security such as legal charges & debentures over companies’ assets or capital held as collateral in any unfortunate circumstance.
​
Loan notes are a great way for a business to gain funding without giving away equity (either at all, or at least up front) which is why companies prefer this method of fundraising over borrowing from high street banks. Some loan notes can also often be structured in such a way as to be convertible, meaning that equity may be given away at a future point and upon a certain event.
