This monthly loan amortization calculator is useful for estimating loan repayments on debt finance for a business startup
When a business needs funding it usually looks to obtain loan finance from a bank or other lender. The lender gives an amount of money (the principal) to the borrower, and the borrower agrees to repay the principal together with a fee (usually called interest).
The loan agreement will stipulate the terms of the loan including the principal, interest rate, repayment amounts and date. For example, a business might borrow 100,000 from a bank at 5% interest repayable over 5 years at 23,097 per year.
Furthermore to give stability in predicting future cash flow requirements, typically a business will borrow from a bank with a fixed annual interest rate. In addition the rate is generally compounded monthly with fixed monthly repayments throughout the term of the loan.
