Arkansas Secured Promissory Note Template
	Adobe PDF MS Word

The Arkansas secured promissory note is a type of contract that is entered into by two parties (a lender and a borrower). The contract serves to establish the various terms of a loan (repayment method, term length, interest rate, collateral, etc.). The note is “secured” because the borrower offers collateral in order to receive the loan. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender has the right to take possession of the asset(s).

If the borrower pays the loan off and satisfies the terms of the contract, the lender must issue them a written statement clearing them of any further obligations.
