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.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals seeking to borrow money for personal or business purposes may utilize this secured term promissory note to formalize the loan agreement with a lender. This document ensures that the borrower is legally obligated to repay the loan amount along with any interest, providing peace of mind to both parties involved.
  • Small business owners looking to secure funding for expansion can use this form to create a legally binding agreement with investors or banks. By offering collateral, they can negotiate better loan terms, ensuring that they have the necessary resources to grow their business.
  • In situations where a family member lends money to another relative, this promissory note can help clarify the terms of the loan. It protects both the lender's investment and the borrower's understanding of their repayment obligations, reducing the potential for misunderstandings.
  • Real estate investors often require a secured loan to finance property purchases. This promissory note allows them to secure the loan with the property itself, ensuring that the lender has a claim to the asset in case of default, thus facilitating smoother transactions.
  • When individuals or entities need to consolidate debts, they may seek a secured loan using this promissory note. By leveraging existing assets as collateral, borrowers can potentially negotiate lower interest rates and more favorable repayment terms.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for unsecured loans, where no collateral is provided. In such cases, a different type of promissory note should be utilized that does not involve security agreements.
  • – If the loan is intended for illegal activities or purposes, this form should not be used. Legal documentation must always comply with applicable laws and regulations.
  • – In situations where the borrower is unable to provide any form of collateral, this secured promissory note is not suitable. Lenders may prefer unsecured notes or alternative financing methods in such cases.
  • – This form is not suitable for loans that involve complex terms or conditions that require extensive legal review. In such instances, it is advisable to consult a legal professional for a customized agreement.
  • – If the parties involved are not in agreement on the loan terms, using this form would be premature. Clear communication and mutual consent are essential before formalizing any loan agreement.
