Financial Agreement & Loan Document Templates
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.
