The Corporate Loan Agreement under Swiss law serves as the primary documentation for corporate financing transactions in Switzerland. It is utilized when a corporate entity seeks debt financing from one or multiple lenders, whether for general corporate purposes, acquisitions, working capital, or specific projects. The agreement must comply with Swiss banking regulations, the Swiss Code of Obligations, and other relevant financial services laws. It includes detailed provisions on facility terms, security structures (if applicable), representations, covenants, and enforcement mechanisms specific to Swiss law. This document type is particularly important given Switzerland's role as a major financial center, and it often incorporates international banking practices while maintaining compliance with local legal requirements. The agreement can be adapted for both bilateral and syndicated lending arrangements, and may include various facility types such as term loans, revolving credits, or multiple tranches.
