The lender may be a corporation or individual. ·Payment Plan: choose a schedule for when the loan needs to be repaid, including how the borrower will make his or her payments and how often. Payments can be made weekly, monthly, or yearly. ·Amount: while the loan amount may be straightforward, you will need to decide whether to charge interest and if it will be compounded monthly or yearly. ·Collateral: as part of your Promissory Note, there may be an option to include collateral or security. Collateral is protection for the lender against a borrower's default. If the borrower defaults, the lender can become the owner of the collateral or sell it to pay the outstanding amount. Collateral may be a vehicle, jewelry, or other assets worth the equivalent or more than the loan itself. ·Amendments: amendments to the Loan Agreement can only be made if both the lender and borrower agree to change the terms. ·Signatures: once complete, the loan contract should be signed by both the lender and borrower to bind the terms. ·Collection: after the terms are signed, the borrower is expected to make payments regularly according to the agreement. If the borrower defaults on a payment, the lender may demand the whole amount immediately as well as charge a higher interest rate until the lender is paid.
