Normally, partnerships can distribute or appropriate their profits according to their partnership agreements.  However, there may be restrictive loan covenants that can specify how much profits partnerships can distribute among the partners.  The purpose of such covenants is to ensure that the ability of the partnership to repay loans are not compromised through profit appropriations.

Financial institutions, therefore, to secure the loans advanced to businesses may include restrictive covenants.  Some restrictive covenants may specify the minimum cash balance to maintain.  Restrictive covenants, generally, remain measures to overcome unwanted business outcomes.  It is a form of insurance against loan repayments.
