When a person or entity (“Lender”) loans money to another person or entity (“Borrower”), the loan is typically formalized with a promissory note. In this type of promissory note (a term promissory note) the Borrower promises to repay the principal of the loan and accrued interest, if any, on or before a certain date in the future. A promissory note will set forth, among other things, the repayment schedule, the interest rate, and defaults.

Often the Lender will want some additional assurance, usually in the form of collateral, in case the Borrower fails to repay the loan. To ensure that that collateral is collectible in the case of a default, the parties will usually enter into another agreement—a security agreement. A security agreement sets out the rights of the Lender with regard to the collateral.

Frequently Asked Questions

A secured promissory note is a legal document that outlines a loan agreement where the borrower pledges collateral to secure the loan. This provides the lender with a claim to the collateral in case the borrower defaults on the loan.

A security agreement is a contract that defines the rights and responsibilities of both the lender and borrower regarding the collateral. It specifies what happens if the borrower fails to repay the loan, allowing the lender to take possession of the collateral.

Yes, this form can be used for personal loans as long as the loan is secured by collateral. It is important to ensure that both parties understand the terms outlined in the promissory note and security agreement.

If the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender has the right to take possession of the collateral as specified in the security agreement. This process typically involves legal steps to reclaim the secured property.

This specific form is designed for use in Delaware. While similar forms may exist in other states, it is important to consult local laws and regulations to ensure compliance when using a promissory note in another jurisdiction.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are lending money to a friend or family member may want to formalize the loan with a secured promissory note. This ensures that there is a clear understanding of the repayment terms and provides the lender with collateral in case of default.
  • Businesses seeking to finance a new project often require loans secured by company assets. By using a secured term promissory note, they can outline the repayment schedule and protect their interests with a security agreement.
  • In situations where a borrower has a poor credit history, lenders may require additional security for the loan. A secured promissory note allows lenders to mitigate risk by securing the loan with collateral, ensuring they have recourse in case of non-payment.
  • Real estate investors frequently utilize secured promissory notes when financing property purchases. This legal document not only formalizes the loan but also specifies the collateral, providing assurance to the lender.
  • When a startup seeks funding from an investor, a secured term promissory note can be used to outline the terms of the investment. This document protects the investor's interests by detailing the repayment terms and securing the loan with company assets.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for unsecured loans, where no collateral is involved. In such cases, a standard promissory note without a security agreement would suffice.
  • – If the loan amount is minimal and the parties have a strong personal relationship, a formal promissory note may be unnecessary. Informal agreements or verbal understandings could be sufficient in these situations.
  • – In cases where the borrower is a corporation or business entity, additional legal considerations may apply. It is advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure that the form meets all corporate requirements.
  • – This form should not be used for loans that violate state usury laws. Lenders must ensure that the interest rates and terms comply with Delaware's legal limits on lending.
  • – If the collateral is not legally owned by the borrower or cannot be legally pledged, this form would not be appropriate. The lender must ensure that the borrower has the right to use the collateral as security for the loan.
