MONEY LENDING AGREEMENT (LENDING CONTRACT) TEMPLATE FAQ


What is a money lending agreement?

A Money Lending Agreement (also called a Lending Contract) is a written contract where a lender agrees to loan money to a borrower, and the borrower agrees to repay it under specific terms. It clarifies the loan amount, interest, repayment schedule, late fees, and what happens if the borrower defaults.


How is this different from a promissory note?

A promissory note is primarily the borrower’s promise to repay. A lending agreement is often more detailed and can include additional terms like conditions to fund, representations, payment processing, collateral terms, and dispute rules. This template is structured as a contract with clear sections.


Should the agreement include interest and late fees?

It can, but it depends on the arrangement and local laws. Interest rate limits (usury laws) and disclosure requirements vary. This template includes optional interest and late fee terms you can customize.


Can you include collateral?

Yes. A loan can be secured by collateral (like a vehicle, equipment, or other property). This template includes an optional collateral section. For secured loans, you may need additional documents to perfect the security interest depending on your jurisdiction.


Do you need witnesses or notarization?

Not always. Many lending agreements are enforceable with signatures alone. Notarization can help prove authenticity and may be useful for higher amounts. This template includes an optional notary section.
