What is a Line Of Credit Promissory Note?
A line of credit promissory note is essentially a written promise by a borrower to pay back a loan from another party. It is common for the lender to be a financial institution like a bank or lending company; however, the source of funds can be any individual or company that is willing to carry the note and provide financing to a borrower. Line of credit promissory notes should always contain the following information so both parties have clear understanding of their obligations:
- Principal amount of the loan
- Interest rate
- Maturity date
- Date and place of issuance
- Issuer’s signature

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
