Personal loans require sensitive dealings, but in all cases the lender will want his money back. Whether you are lending small amounts on a short term basis to someone you trust, or whether you are lending a large sum for a long period to a stranger, one of these personal loan agreements should be suitable. The documents are mainly differentiated by the type of security taken.
Personal loan agreements

This is a simple loan agreement suitable for lending to friends or family. It is intended to make clear to the borrower that the arrangement is "for real" and that the lender intends that the money should be repaid on time as agreed. It is ideal for lending in situations such as large one-off purchases, funding of events, and consolidation of other debts.
