What is a Note Conversion Agreement?

A note conversion agreement is a contract between a lender and company where the lender receives stock in the company instead of payment. This type of agreement is especially helpful to new startups that don't have much capital to secure a loan. When a note conversion agreement is signed, it only requires companies to give out a portion of the equity in their company instead of pledging to make cash payments.

The note conversion agreement is intended to offer an alternate route for lenders to receive payments from those who can't or don't want to make cash payments in exchange for business capital.
