Loan Agreement Guidelines

This is a contract between a lender and a borrower. It specifies what is to be lent, the conditions of loan and the respective responsibilities of each party. See Process Diagram and Process Guidelines. A covering letter may also be issued with the agreement which draws attention to particularly important conditions of loan.

The Loan Agreement (may also be called a lender's agreement, borrower's agreement or loan contract) should be final.

We have also provided a template in case of use.
