borrowing powers

borrowing powers
the power of a public or corporate body to borrow. Most public bodies are invested by statute with power to borrow; the extent of any power in a particular case will depend on the precise language of the statute concerned (see Att. Gen. v. De Winton [1906] 2 Ch. 106).
A UK-registered company has no inherent power to borrow. However, a company that carries on a business has an implied power to borrow money and give security for the purpose of its business (see General Auction Estate Co. v. Smith [1891] 3 Ch. 432). Borrowing powers may be expressly conferred by provision in the company's memorandum of association; a company whose object is to carry on business as a general commercial company is endowed with the power to do all such things as are incidental or conducive (including borrowing) to that end in terms of the Companies Act 1985.
