A personal loan agreement is a written contract between two parties, generally a borrower and a lender. It outlines how much money is being borrowed, the repayment schedule and what should be done if there's a dispute over paying it back. A business loan agreement typically includes a promissory note stating the amount you agree to borrow and the term and interest rate at which you must pay the money back. The promissory note is essentially your promise to pay back the funds you borrow from others. Although a promissory note is legally enforceable, it is less formal than a loan agreement and is suitable where smaller sums of money are involved.
