What is a Deferral Agreement?
A deferral agreement is a contract between a lender and company that sets the terms and conditions of an agreed-upon payment deferral. The contract terms include details about how much the payment is, when the new due date is, and what fees might apply for the deferral. The agreement is useful to give business owners more time to come up with a required payment without risking violating the terms of the agreement.
The deferral agreement offers an easy and convenient way for lenders and borrowers to come to an agreement surrounding modifying the terms of the original contract.
