When you run a business or company, and you need a lot of funds to finance operations, whether it's to run a business, for example opening a new branch, buying property, equipment and machinery, etc. Of course you will be looking for a long-term loan with a term of three to five years (depending on the agreement), while long-term debt lenders include banks, investors and other companies.

There are two ways to get long term debt viz
1. Bonds payable.
Your company issues bonds in the thousands, which are made using a notarial deed, which states the loan nominal, loan interest in percentage, term, installments, company assets guarantee.

2. Mortage Notes Payable,
Your company borrows from banks or other financial institutions with fixed assets as collateral which may be in the form of building certificates, land, machinery, houses, factory buildings, shop buildings etc. But as a borrower you can still use these assets.

Sorry, I have not experienced this having a loan for a business. It might be good for those having big businesses. My business is small. I only capitalize it with $1000. It will be scary to have a loan payable in 5 years.

I think that it is much better to avoid loans under any circumstances. This is because loans are bad for your business, as you are required to pay the loans and the interest as well that you are obliged to pay when you return the money.

Long-term debt is beneficial in that it enables a business to have a stable cashflow. Given that a business does not necessarily need to spend money toward repaying a long-term debt during the initial years of such credit, it enjoys relative financial stability.

Of course, we as entrepreneurs have to do various analyzes and forecasts, especially sales if working capital increases, so that taking long-term debt or mortgage debt will be efficient and profitable, because we only need to pay debt installments plus interest every month.

In my country, the government also provides People's Business Credit, which is intended to increase the capital capacity of small businesses and is included as a type of mortgage debt. Another benefit of long-term debt can also reduce business income tax, because interest expenses can reduce profits, so the amount of tax to be paid will also be reduced.

We don't have such facilities in my country. Even if the government wants to establish such a thing, it would be hijacked. I have tried so much to get financing from the government owned Bank of Industry. They just frustrate me with so much paperwork.

Long term loans don't stress to pay off. The periodic repayments are smaller since it is spread out and therefore does not place a financial burden on the business. It is best for business if a loan is to be taken at all.
