Nonrecourse Debt


Non-Recourse Finance

A loan secured by the revenue of the project the loan intends to fund, and nothing else. That is, non-recourse finance does not allow the bank or other lending institution access to the borrower's other assets in the event of default. This is a relatively high-risk form of financing; projects that utilize non-recourse finance generally have uncertain revenue streams and long loan periods.

Nonrecourse Debt

Nonrecourse debt is debt for which the borrower is not personally liable. If the borrower defaults, the lender can take the property used to secure the loan, but no other property of the borrower.
