The Bridge Financing Agreement is a crucial document used when companies require interim financing to meet immediate capital needs while arranging longer-term funding solutions. This agreement type is commonly used in Hong Kong's dynamic financial market for various purposes, including acquisition financing, project development bridges, or working capital needs. The document, governed by Hong Kong law, must comply with local regulatory requirements including the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and Money Lenders Ordinance (Cap. 163). A Bridge Financing Agreement typically includes detailed terms on facility amount, interest calculations, drawdown mechanics, repayment obligations, security arrangements (if any), and standard protective provisions for lenders. It's particularly important in time-sensitive transactions where permanent financing arrangements are still being finalized.
