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.

Similar documents

If the borrower is a company, then this contract is more suitable. It contains additional provisions such as to ensure that the shareholders do not restructure the share capital company so as to make worthless the secured shareholding.

You can also read more about securing a loan appropriately.

Great Service
11 October 2024
After much research I decided Net Lawman appeared to match my requirements better than any other option. The reviews were positive and there wasn't too much upsell or anyhidden agendas where you are trapped into paying more.
The document was suitable for my region (Tasmania) and covered all necessary aspects for the loan document. I have no hesitation in recommending these guys, you may get a better document than you would if attending a local lawyer and paying 10 times as much. These guys offer all the support you need.

Very Flexible
11 July 2016
The document is very flexible in terms of content & its application to a very broad range of possible loan agreements. The use of 'plain English' was very welcomed.
I would definitely use it again.
