The Available Amount Credit Agreement is a fundamental financing document used in Irish lending transactions where a lender provides a borrower with access to a revolving credit facility up to a predetermined limit. This type of agreement is particularly useful for businesses requiring flexible access to funding for working capital, general corporate purposes, or specific project financing. The document incorporates requirements from Irish financial regulations, consumer protection laws, and EU directives, making it suitable for both corporate and consumer lending scenarios. It includes detailed provisions on facility usage, interest calculations, repayment mechanisms, and security arrangements, while ensuring compliance with Irish banking regulations and the Consumer Credit Act 1995. The agreement is structured to provide clarity on drawdown conditions, ongoing obligations, and default scenarios, making it a crucial tool for managing credit relationships in the Irish market.
