Mississippi Unsecured Promissory Note Template |
|
TheĀ Mississippi Unsecured Promissory Note Template is a legal form that can be downloaded as a .PDF or Word file. The form is used to outline the terms of a loan (e.g. principal sum, payment method, interest rates, etc.). As opposed to secured notes, unsecured notes are not backed by a borrower’s collateral. Therefore, unsecured notes/loans are usually only provided to borrowers who are deemed “low risk,” or are otherwise not at risk of defaulting on the loan.
