PORsidokset
PORsidokset is a Finnish term that translates to "pork bonds" or "pork loan collateral" in English. It refers to a type of financial instrument where a company or entity pledges its assets, typically real estate or machinery, as collateral for a loan. These assets are essentially "pawned" to the lender to secure the repayment of the debt. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender has the right to seize and sell the pledged assets to recoup their losses. PORsidokset are commonly used in business financing, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises that may not have a strong credit history or sufficient liquid assets. The specific terms and conditions of PORsidokset are determined by the loan agreement between the borrower and the lender, and they often involve detailed valuations of the collateral and clauses regarding its maintenance and insurance. This method of securing loans is prevalent in Finland and other Nordic countries.
