Loan Note Template

This Loan Note is a form of legally binding financing whereby the borrower issues a document (the loan note) to a noteholder, or noteholders, evidencing that money has been borrowed and the terms and conditions of this borrowing as well as stating the borrower’s obligation to re-pay the notes at a future specified date or dates.

The execution provisions of this template are compliant and consistent with the requirements of the Land Registry for prescribed form deeds introduced from 20th September 2019.

Loan Notes can offer an attractive form of raising finance for SME businesses and clubs or associations, because:

• Several loan notes of small denominations can be issued;
• Money can be raised on a short term basis; and
• It enables clubs, societies or associations with large membership bases with members willing to invest small amounts each, to raise finance.

This loan note has been drafted as an unsecured obligation of a private limited company. The loan note carries interest and the terms of both interest payments and final redemption details are set out. It is not transferable.

This loan note is designed as a simple straightforward template borrowing mechanism and is presented as a certificate with conditions attached. The loan note is a deed poll and therefore is only required to be executed by the company issuing the note. As with all financing arrangements, breach of a term can have serious consequences. Events of default have been including in this loan note instrument.

Loan notes can be extremely complex documents, particularly if amongst other things, they are secured and the issuer is a bank. There can also be complex tax implications to loan note arrangements.
