A mortgage obligation is a legal document that gives a lender rights to a borrower’s assets if a loan is defaulted. It is often required by banks for business loans and can include physical property, unpaid bills, or the business itself as collateral. The bank may also have the right to take over all business assets if the loan is not repaid.
A mortgage obligation is a legal document given by a borrower to a lender that generally gives the borrower rights to some assets held by the lender if the loan is defaulted. This type of obligation is generally required by a bank that is granting a loan to a company. In essence, the mortgage obligation gives the bank rights to assets, ranging from physical property to unpaid bills to the business itself. There are also times when this type of obligation can give the bank the right to step in and designate a receiver to take over the business assets as a way of guaranteeing repayment.
Business loans are a common need for young businesses that need funds to start their operations. They can also be used by companies that are well established but are embarking on an expensive new initiative. Some of these loans may be unsecured, but many banks require some form of collateral from the borrower to guarantee substantial loans. One type of security that may be accepted is a mortgage obligation.
The mortgage obligation is a document signed by the borrowers and delivered to the lender. In the case of a commercial loan, the company requesting the loan must promise both to repay the principal of the loan to the bank at the end of the loan term and to pay interest to the bank at regular intervals. On top of all this, some security must be provided to compensate the bank for the risk of the loan not being repaid.
Depending on the type of mortgage obligation contract, different forms of collateral may be accepted. Often, the bank can claim the building that the business owns or other valuable physical assets that the business may own. The bank could also claim any debt owed to the business in the form of customer invoices. Also, a floating charge included in some debentures would entitle the bank to future profits that the business could earn.
There are also times when a mortgage obligation could give the bank the right to step in and essentially take over all business assets owned by the borrowing company. This could even include the bank taking over the collection of money owed to the company in question. It is important to realize that the bank cannot enforce any of these rights if the borrowing business meets its loan repayment schedule.
