Features of obtaining a loan under a government contract
The term and amount of the loan are determined by the conditions specified in the document, and repayment of the debt is fully carried out upon receipt of payment from the state. Until this point, the client pays only interest.
Contract lending is beneficial to the borrower in that it allows you to keep your own funds in circulation and fulfill obligations at the expense of the bank’s money. Typically, a loan under a government contract is issued without collateral or guarantors; property rights to the loaned object act as collateral.
LLCs and individual entrepreneurs can take out a loan only after they have won the competition and signed a contract. But you can apply at the participation stage, depending on the program requirements. The costs of government procurement can be very impressive, which is why a special loan product has been developed for small businesses.
