Commercial Paper

Low-risk debt instruments with short-term maturity dates issued by non-financial corporations and other borrowers to meet short-term financing needs.

They are popular with investors (who are really lenders in this case), who want a temporary, safe haven for idle cash. They are similar to government treasury bills.
