Study Notes

Suppliers' Credit

  • Suppliers provide credit to businesses in the "buy-and-sell" industry.
  • Terms can range from 30 to 120 days.
  • Credit is typically provided in the form of raw materials, finished goods, or merchandise.

Line of Credit

  • A line of credit enables a business to access short-term credit from a bank, subject to availability of funds.
  • It is different from time or term loans in several ways:
    • Loan release: In a line of credit, only a portion or the full approved amount can be withdrawn, unlike time loans where the entire amount is released upfront.
    • Interest calculation: In a time loan, interest is calculated on the full amount for the entire term. In a line of credit, it's calculated based on the actual amount withdrawn.
    • Commitment fee: Banks charge a one-time fee for a line of credit regardless of whether the loan is fully, partially, or not used.

Packing Credit Advances

  • Credit extended by banks to exporters to fund the manufacturing of goods for export.
  • Involves financial assistance for procuring raw materials, processing them into finished goods, and preparing them for export.

Treasury Bills (T-Bills)

  • Short-term debt securities issued by the Philippine government to raise funds.
  • Peso-denominated and unsecured.
  • Offer fixed-income returns with predetermined interest rates.
  • Typically mature within a year and are issued at a discounted price.

Bank Guarantee Credit

  • A bank guarantees the payment of a buyer's obligations to a seller.
  • Used to secure transactions like letters of credit (L/Cs).
  • The bank assumes the responsibility of covering any shortfall in payment by the buyer.

Promissory Note

  • A credit instrument, often called a P/N or pronote, that represents a written promise to pay a debt.
  • Can be a separate document or incorporated into sales invoices, delivery receipts, or pledge documents (like in pawnshops).
  • Promissory notes are often detailed with specific provisions to avoid legal disputes.

Trust Receipt

  • Not a credit instrument in itself, but becomes one when used in a credit transaction.
  • The seller (entruster) gives the buyer (entrustee) possession of goods, but not ownership.
  • The buyer holds these goods in trust to sell them.
  • Proceeds from sales must be remitted immediately to the seller to avoid violating the trust agreement.
  • Failure to comply with trust receipt terms may lead to criminal liability.

Deed of Conditional Sale

  • Used in selling appliances on credit.
  • Transfers possession of the appliance to the buyer but not ownership.
  • The seller retains the right to repossess the appliance in case of non-payment.
  • The seller is responsible for losses incurred due to fortuitous events.

Warehouse Receipt

  • Issued by a registered warehouse to provide evidence of deposit.
  • Not a credit instrument.
  • Used in deposit transactions (like a farmer depositing palay in a warehouse).

Accounts Receivables Financing

  • A method of financing where a business sells its receivables (promissory notes) to a finance company.
  • Finance companies purchase receivables at a discount.
  • The discount represents the gross profit of the finance company.
  • Both ownership and possession of the promissory notes are transferred to the buyer.

Factoring

  • A type of accounts receivable financing where the finance company purchases the accounts receivable.
  • Similar to accounts receivable financing, the finance company typically purchases the receivables at a discount.

Mortgage

  • A type of loan secured by real estate.
  • The borrower (mortgagor) provides the lender (mortgagee) with a legal claim on the property as collateral.
  • The borrower retains possession of the property until the loan is repaid.

Title Verification

  • Important to verify land titles before buying a property.
  • Methods of verification:
    • Checking the "Memorandum of Encumbrances" section of the Owner's Duplicate Certificate.
    • Consulting a lawyer for a due diligence investigation.
    • Checking with the Land Registration Authority (LRA).
    • Checking with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for companies (for authenticity and legality).

Spotting Fake Titles

  • Guidelines to help identify fake land titles:
    • Check if the party responsible for goods in transit is listed (e.g., mortgage documents).
    • Look for provisions related to successor-in-interest and holder-in-due-course.
    • Verify the title's authenticity and existence through the LRA.

Government Agencies

  • Land Registration Authority (LRA): Responsible for land titling.
  • Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): Responsible for company registration.

Other Notable Points

  • Successor-in-interest and holder-in-due-course provisions: These provisions are crucial when dealing with promissory notes and mortgages.
  • Government Interest Rate Changes: In cases where the government adjusts interest rates, the rate incorporated into the pronote will change accordingly.
  • Deed of Conditional Sale: This document serves as a credit instrument for a conditional sale, granting the seller the right to repossess the item if the buyer fails to pay.
  • Warehouse Receipt: This is an important document for goods stored in a warehouse, indicating ownership and custody of the goods.
  • Trust Receipts: A trust receipt gives possession, but not ownership, of goods for the entrustee to sell, with proceeds typically remitted to the entruster.
  • Fortuitous Events: In a deed of conditional sale, the seller bears the loss due to unforeseen events, not the buyer.
  • Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivables financing provides companies with immediate cash flow by selling their invoices to finance companies.
  • Factoring: Similar to accounts receivables financing, factoring involves the sale of receivables by businesses but often with more comprehensive services.
