First Advances Clause Samples

The "First Advances" clause defines the terms and conditions under which the initial disbursement of funds will be made in a financing or loan agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the prerequisites that must be satisfied before the lender releases the first portion of the loan, such as completion of due diligence, delivery of required documents, or achievement of certain project milestones. By clearly specifying these requirements, the clause ensures that both parties understand when and how the first advance will occur, thereby reducing uncertainty and protecting the lender from premature or unwarranted disbursement of funds.
