English translation:... if they are considered good and adequate...
Explanation:
Sorry - the whole phrase wouldn't fit.
"... if they [guarantees on the loan, I would imagine] are considered good and adequate, they will often allow you complete freedom as to how the loan can be used [or: concerning the use of the borrowed funds]."

The concept is that if you ask an Italian bank for a loan and you offer adequate guarantees to back the loan, then you can decide to use the money as you like -- evidently with no restrictions.

Explanation:

I am sure you will find a much better was to say it in English...
