Direct lending. Direct lending is a form of corporate debt provision in which lenders other than banks make loans to companies without intermediaries such as an investment bank, a broker or a private equity firm.
Direct loans, offered through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, are actually made by the U.S. Department of Education, and the government serves as creditor and collector on the account. The primary differences between the two loans involved the sources of funding, the rates of interest on the loans, which loan consolidation options are available to borrowers, repayment terms and which assistance programs are available to those struggling with repayment.
