About this document
This agreement is suitable where the borrower is an individual. The lender could be another individual, or a company.
The lender takes security against intangible assets such as company shares, debts, or intellectual property. We also include an optional provision for a third party guarantee, since a guarantor often provides additional incentive not to default.
The purpose of the loan is not important. It could be used to consolidate existing debt, to expand a business or for short term financing.
Examples of use are:
-
where a company loans money to a director-shareholder against his or her shares
-
for a personal loan between friends, where the borrower pledges a share portfolio as security
Either or both parties may be in the UK or abroad, and the agreement can be used for loans of any size.
