What do you mean by a floating charge ?

  • A.It is a charge on fixed and present assets which can be used in the ordinary course of business.
  • B.It is a charge on present and future assets which can be used in the ordinary course of business
  • C.It is a charge on present and future assets which can't be used in the ordinary course of business
  • D.It is a charge on present and fixed assets which cannot be used in the ordinary course of business.

Answer: B

A floating charge is a charge on present and future assets which can be used in the ordinary course of business.

A floating charge is an equitable charge over a class of assets, present and future, that change from time to time, such as stock-in-trade and book debts. Until the charge crystallises, on winding up or default, the company may deal with those assets in the ordinary course of its business without the charge-holder's consent.

Option C contradicts the defining feature, the freedom to use the assets. Options A and D describe fixed assets under a fixed charge, which the company cannot deal with freely.
