What is a loan?

A loan is a financial arrangement where a lender provides funds to a borrower, who agrees to repay the borrowed amount with interest over a specified period.

Why would someone take out a loan?

People take out loans to finance large purchases (like a home or car), cover unexpected expenses, consolidate debts, or invest in business ventures.

What factors determine the cost of a loan?

The cost of a loan is influenced by the loan amount, interest rate, loan term, and any fees or charges associated with the loan.

What are the different types of loans available?

Common types include mortgage loans for homes, auto loans for vehicles, personal loans for various purposes, student loans for education, and business loans for enterprises.

How does the interest rate affect loan repayment?

A higher interest rate increases the total cost of borrowing, resulting in higher monthly payments and more interest paid over the loan term.

What happens if someone misses a loan payment?

Missing payments can lead to late fees, penalties, and negatively impact credit scores. In severe cases, it may result in loan default and legal actions by the lender.

How can someone repay a loan faster?

Making extra payments, refinancing at a lower interest rate, or increasing monthly payments can shorten the loan term and reduce overall interest costs.
