Glossary - Revolving Credit Facility
A revolving credit facility is a line of credit that is arranged between a bank and a business. It allows the business to draw down, repay, and reborrow funds up to a set limit within a specified period. Unlike a term loan, the revolving nature of the facility means it can be tapped into repeatedly as long as the maximum limit is not exceeded. Interest is typically charged only on the amount of funds drawn down, not on the undrawn available balance.
