I believe the answer is:

float

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'negotiate a loan' is the first definition.
'float' can be an answer for 'negotiate' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'a loan' bit.

'carnival display' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for float that I've seen before include "cash in hand" , "Soft drink with a scoop of ice cream - rest on water - electric cart" , "Money in hand" , "Carnival display" , "Rest on liquid" .)
