The correct answer is C. Equipment loans are not usually tied to the redevelopment of the business real estate in any way. Equipment and real estate are two distinct classes of business assets. An equipment loan would, however, be tired to the equipment itself as the nature of the equipment would determine the amount of the loan. The equipment would also usually serve as collateral on the loan. The financial position of the borrow and the business's overall cash flow (but mainly its operating cash flow) would also be tied to the equipment loan in that these items would help the bank assess the risk of the loan and therefore determine the interest rate and terms of the loan.
