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.

If the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender can take possession of the collateral as specified in the security agreement. This process typically involves legal proceedings to enforce the lender's rights.

This specific form is designed for use in Rhode Island and may not be valid in other states. It's important to consult local laws or seek legal advice if you need a similar document in a different jurisdiction.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are lending money and want to ensure their investment is protected may use this secured term promissory note. By securing the loan with collateral, the lender can have peace of mind knowing that they have a claim to the property in case of default.
  • Businesses that require financing for operations often utilize this form to formalize loans from investors or banks. This document not only outlines the terms of repayment but also provides security for the lender, making it a vital part of business financing.
  • In situations where a family member lends money to another family member, this form can help clarify the terms of the loan. By using a secured promissory note, both parties can avoid misunderstandings and ensure that the loan is treated seriously.
  • Real estate investors may find this document particularly useful when securing loans for property purchases. By attaching a security agreement to the promissory note, they can leverage their property as collateral, making it easier to obtain financing.
  • For those entering into a loan agreement with a friend or colleague, this form provides a formal structure to the transaction. It helps to maintain professionalism and ensures that both parties are aware of their rights and obligations.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for unsecured loans, where no collateral is provided. In such cases, a standard promissory note without a security agreement would suffice.
  • – If the loan amount is very small, using a secured term promissory note may be overly complex and unnecessary. Simpler agreements or informal arrangements may be more suitable for minor transactions.
  • – In situations where the borrower is a business entity with a different set of legal requirements, this form may not meet the necessary legal standards. It's advisable to use a business-specific loan agreement instead.
  • – If both parties do not agree on the terms of the loan, using this form could lead to disputes. It's essential to have mutual consent on all terms before formalizing the agreement.
  • – This document should not be used when the borrower has a poor credit history or is unlikely to repay the loan. In such cases, lenders may want to reconsider the terms or seek alternative arrangements.
