This is used if you want to start up a business, because you get money to start it up with.
Mortgage A mortgage is when you buy a property, but you pay for it in small chunks over time. Until you pay back your mortgage, the bank will own a certain percentage or your property.

These exist so that company's can buy equipment, but not have to pay for it until they can afford it.
