Secured Promissory Note Templates |
The Secured Promissory Note is a form that may be used to provide an agreement between a lender and a borrower with regard to the details of any amount of money that is being loaned and borrowed. The same form would outline the details of an an added asset of value that would be placed into the possession of the lender (until the amount of the note has been satisfied). This asset would serve as a replacement for the funds lost by the lender in the event of a breach of the agreement as it would be stated in writing, within the confines of the note and as agreed upon between the parties.
