loan capital
Definition
Part of a firm's capital employed that is (1) not equity capital, (2) earns a fixed rate of interest instead of dividends, and (3) must be repaid within a specified period, irrespective of the firm's financial position. It may be obtained from a bank or finance company as long-term loans, or from debt-equity investors in the form of debentures or preferred stock (preference shares), and is usually secured by a fixed and/or floating charge on the firm's assets. Unlike debt capital, it does not include short-term loans (such as overdraft). Also called borrowed capital.
