Create & signA simple loan agreement is a contract between two parties — the borrower and lender — that details and formalizes the terms of a loan. While a loan agreement is often characterized as a one-way agreement setting out terms of repayment, such contracts are actually two-way, detailing obligations on the part of both the lender and the borrower.
Financial institutions offering simple personal loans include:
Even if you’re lending money to family or a close friend, it may be a good idea to draft up a simple loan agreement.
Whether you’re borrowing money from a bank or financial institution or drafting a personal loan contract to lend safely to friends or family, a simple loan agreement is the contract you’re after.
First things first, include all necessary and relevant details so both you and the borrower are protected.
Ensure your loan agreement contains the following details:
Even if your business does not offer products like personal loans and mortgages in the financial services industry, you might still find yourself lending money to individuals or other companies on certain occasions.
A loan agreement is more robust and offers both parties more protection than other documents, such as an IOU or Promissory Note. If you’re lending a significant sum of money to an individual or another business, it makes sense to have as much legal protection as possible. Doing so delivers trust and peace of mind and ensures you have a mechanism for reclaiming the loan should the other party not repay you as agreed.
The responsibility of managing lending agreements usually falls to the lender. But in some situations, the borrower will initiate the contract.
It makes sense that the lender has the responsibility, as they are likely to have more power and resources and, therefore, can enforce their terms on the other party.
