A type of short- or intermediate-term credit that is repaid with money generated by the assets it is used to purchase.

Investopedia explains 'Self-Liquidating Loan'

A business might use a self-liquidating loan to purchase extra inventory in anticipation of the holiday shopping season. The revenue generated from selling that inventory would be used to repay the loan. Self-liquidating loans are not always a good credit choice. For example, they do not make sense for fixed assets, such as real estate, or depreciable assets, such as machinery. There are also a number of scams that call themselves "self-liquidating loans".
