Introduction

Welcome to the Terms and Conditions for Starlight Ventures Holdings ("Starlight," "we," or "lender"). These terms govern all short-term and long-term business loans provided by Starlight worldwide. Each loan agreement will specify key financing details, including the loan amount, term, interest rate, repayment schedule, applicable fees, collateral requirements, and default conditions.

Loan Products and Interest Rate

Starlight offers both short-term and long-term business loans globally. Loans may be secured (requiring collateral) or unsecured, depending on the borrower's qualifications and business needs. Loan amounts range from USD $10,000 to $100,000,000, making them suitable for small businesses as well as large enterprises.

Fixed Annual Interest Rate: 6% (no variable or floating rates)

Repayment Structure: Fixed payments for predictability and cost stability

No Compound Interest: Interest does not accrue on unpaid interest charges

The specific term length and repayment schedule will be detailed in your individual loan agreement, based on the loan type (e.g., short-term bridging loan vs. long-term expansion loan).

Loan Insurance Requirements

Business Interruption Insurance

  • Borrowers in volatile industries may be required to obtain business interruption insurance.

  • Industries with a high risk of natural disasters, supply chain interruptions, or operational shutdowns may be subject to this requirement.

Life Insurance for High-Risk Borrowers

  • If an individual borrower's role is critical to loan repayment, Starlight may require life insurance.
  • The lender must be named as the policy's beneficiary or assignee.
  • This requirement is common for older borrowers or key business figures.

Mandatory Insurance for Large Loans

  • Loans exceeding a certain threshold may require credit life insurance, business liability insurance, or asset protection coverage.

Upfront Lump-Sum Insurance Premiums

  • For loans requiring insurance, Starlight may mandate full upfront premium payments covering the loan term.
