What is a Personal Loan Agreement?

A Personal Loan Agreement is a formal contract for loans between family members, friends, or individuals that establishes clear repayment terms while preserving personal relationships and providing legal protection. Essential for informal lending situations, emergency financial assistance, startup funding, and family loans, this agreement prevents misunderstandings and protects both lender and borrower interests. The document typically covers loan amounts, interest rates, repayment schedules, late fees, default provisions, and relationship preservation clauses. Critical for individuals who want to formalize personal loans while maintaining trust, ensure clear expectations for repayment, protect against disputes, and provide legal documentation for tax purposes and financial records in personal lending arrangements.
