Term loans may be raised in issuance to a borrower in the form of bank-syndicated debt, or the institution market. Institutional Term Loans, or rather those that trade on secondary exchanges are commonly referred to as "Term Loan B". These facilities are typically 7 years and lack financial covenants.
