Financial Agreement & Loan Document Templates

Put money terms in writing — what is owed, when it is due, what happens if it is not paid, and proof that it was.

Before you use one

What financial documents have in common

These documents are used when money is being lent, owed, paid, guaranteed or invested and both sides need the terms recorded. They are typically signed by lenders, borrowers, freelancers, small businesses and anyone settling a debt.

Money documents are enforceable when the amount, the schedule and the consequence of non-payment are unambiguous. Most disputes come down to a figure that was never written down or a due date that was left implied.

Consumer credit, usury and debt-collection rules are local and strictly enforced. Regulated lending needs professional advice; so does anything secured against a home.

Avoid these

Common mistakes

  • 01

    No repayment schedule

    State the amounts, the dates and the method. "When he can" is not a term a court can enforce.

  • 02

    Ignoring interest-rate limits

    Most jurisdictions cap interest on private loans. Exceeding the cap can render the interest — occasionally the whole debt — unenforceable.

  • 03

    No default clause

    Say what counts as default, whether the balance becomes immediately payable, and who pays collection costs.

  • 04

    Lending to family on a handshake

    The relationships most likely to produce an undocumented loan are exactly the ones most damaged when it goes wrong.
