Michigan Unsecured Promissory Note Template |
|
TheĀ Michigan Unsecured Promissory Note Template is a written agreement regarding a loan that is entered into by two parties – a lender and borrower. The agreement outlines the principal sum, interest rate, payment frequency, and other terms of a loan. The reason that it is “unsecured” is because the borrower does not pledge collateral (as opposed to a secured note). Should the borrower default on the loan, the lender’s only recourse is to file a civil suit. This is why unsecured notes/loans are typically reserved for borrowers who have a high net worth (or an excellent credit history).
