Loan Agreement

A Loan Agreement is a contract between a lender and a borrower which regulates the business transactions by stating the terms and conditions of the contract by mentioning the details of loan amount given to party, interest amount to be paid, method of repayment, term and legality in case borrower fails to repay the payment.

Why there is a need of Loan Agreement?

Lending or borrowing money is a big commitment, so it is important that rights of both the parties i.e. lender and borrower must be safeguard by loan agreement. The basic purpose of loan agreement is to not only to detail the amount of loan given and the terms of repayment of the same but also to describe the terms and conditions of loan that serves as a proof that loan has been given and that prevents borrower to shrink from its commitment to repay the loan amount.
