Borrowing in Georgian Bay, Ontario

Products compared here

Two of the 20 covered products appear below, each with the purpose the product is designed for.

• Secured loans: Borrowing against an asset, which lowers the price but puts the asset at risk if you default.
• Business lines of credit: A revolving operating limit for a business, and why it behaves differently from a term loan.

How borrowing works locally

A mortgage is registered against the property, which is what gives the lender its claim.

A shorter term raises each payment and lowers the total interest, which is the trade every schedule makes. Interest on a line of credit accrues only on the drawn portion, not on the unused limit.
