Simple Loan Agreement Template

A loan agreement is a written agreement between a lender and a borrower. The borrower promises to pay back the loan in line with a repayment schedule (regular payments or a lump sum). As a lender, this document is very useful as it legally enforces the borrower to repay the loan. This loan agreement can be used for business, personal, real estate, and student loans.

How to write a Loan Agreement?

Include key terms of the loan, such as the lender and borrower’s contact information, the reason for the loan, what is being loaned, the interest rate, the repayment plan, what would happen if the borrower can’t make the payments, and more. A loan agreement should include these topics:

• The amount of the loan, also known as the principal amount.
• The date of the creation of the loan agreement.
• The name, address, and contact information of the borrower.
• The name, address, and contact information of the lender.
• A plan for loan payment, such as a monthly payment plan with start dates and due dates.
• The maturity date or the date that the final payment is due on the loan.
• The interest rate of the loan and how payments will be applied to it.
• Prepayment details specifying if and how the borrower may make additional payments or pay back the loan in one lump sum.
• Consequences if the borrower fails to make payments or in the event of default. You may also include penalties such as late fees for late payments.
• Details about guarantors who promise to repay the loan should the borrower fail to pay or successors who will be responsible for the loan in the case that the borrower passes away.
• An “in witness whereof” section for signatures and dates of signatures from the borrower, the lender, and one or two witnesses.
