Loan agreement

About this document

In this agreement, the loan is provided to an individual, and secured by the borrower either taking physical possession of assets, or by leaving the assets in place and describing them in detail in this document so that there can be no dispute as to what is charged.

In addition, we have also included an optional provision to include a third party guarantor. That may be a more powerful incentive for the borrower than other forms of security.

The reason for lending is not important. The borrower may wish to buy a high value item such as a car, or consolidate existing debts, or use the money to start a business.

You may also consider a deal where you lend based on a guarantee from a third party only. This may be particularly the case where the resale value of the asset on which the loan is secured may be uncertain, or the asset may be difficult to sell quickly. The agreement here suits that situation.
