56 views3 pages
Document Summary
Debentures and long-term loans are both debt, which are often taken to mean the same thing. However, loans may be either unsecured, or secured on some or all of the assets of the company. A debenture more specifically refers to the written acknowledgement of a debt by a company, usually given under its seal, and is secured on some or all of the assets of the company or its subsidiaries. A debenture agreement normally contains provisions as to payment of interest and the terms of repayment of principal. Security for a debenture may be by way of a floating charge, without atta(cid:272)h(cid:373)e(cid:374)t to spe(cid:272)ifi(cid:272) assets, o(cid:374) the (cid:449)hole of the (cid:271)usi(cid:374)ess(cid:859)s assets. If the company is not able to meet its obligations the floating charge will crystallise on specific assets like debtors or stocks. Security may alternatively, at the outset, take the form of a fixed charge on specific assets like land and buildings.
