Advised Lines of Credit

Financial Term

Advised Lines of Credit (ALOC) are flexible credit facilities extended by financial institutions to clients who require access to cash for various financial purposes. The credit facility is initiated, structured and provided to clients by a lending institution with the guidance and advice of a designated financial advisor.

ALOC is an unsecured line of credit that is typically associated with higher interest rates but carries less risk for borrowers since it is not backed by collateral. Borrowers can withdraw from the line of credit as needed, and interest is only charged on the amount of the outstanding balance. ALOC is commonly used to fund small business operations, asset purchases, personal expenses, or to provide ongoing cash flow support.

Financial institutions offer ALOCs to their clients by adhering to a set of predetermined policies and guidelines that are designed to protect both the lender and borrower. These policies include factors such as borrower credit worthiness, the nature of the business or project being funded, and the intended use of funds, among others.

In summary, ALOCs offer a flexible and convenient option for clients who require access to cash without the need for collateral. With guidance and support from financial advisors, borrowers can access a revolving line of credit that meets their financial needs while safeguarding the interests of all parties involved.
