Bonds payable, lt notes payable, pension liabilities and lease liabilities. Often these are with restrictive covenants (i. e. terms or conditions) that are meant to limit activities and protect both the lender and borrowers. Bonds are the most common type of lt debt that companies report on their bs. Main purpose of bonds is to borrow for the lt when the amount of capital that is needed is too large for one lender to supply. The difference between current notes payable and lt notes payable is the maturity date. Lt notes are similar in substance to bonds as both have fixed maturity dates and carry either a stated or implicit interest rate.
