Overview of the Template Simple Promissory Note
You can use my template simple promissory note to memorialize a loan agreement, or to borrow money (with or without interest). My simple promissory note lays out all the relevant terms, rights and obligations of the loan, from the amount of the loan itself to the agreed-upon repayment plan.
For context, a proper promissory note should include information such as the amount and date of the loan, the names of the parties (i.e., the lender and borrower), the interest rate on the loan and its beginning date. Your promissory note should also describe how the loan will be paid (e.g., in installments of principal and interest, in installments of interest only, in one lump sum on a specific date, due on demand, etc.).
