A promissory note is a written agreement for the repayment of a loan. It’s a commitment to pay and entails all the details of the promise. A bank can issue a promissory note, but it can also be issued by a person, a corporation, a business, or someone giving loans.<\/span><\/p>\n
Although a promissory note is not really a contract, you will likely be required to sign it <\/span>with CocoSign<\/span> before taking out a loan.<\/span><\/p>\n
What is a Promissory Note, and How Does It Work?<\/b><\/h2>\n
There are two types of promissory notes: secured and unsecured. A loan issued only on the maker’s ability to pay back is referred to as an unprotected promissory note. A secured promissory note is one in which the loan is backed by a valuable asset, such as a home.<\/span><\/p>\n
These notes are legally binding documents. If the debtor fails to comply with the deal and the loan balance conditions, the provisionary notes may be sued.<\/span><\/p>\n
Promissory Notes Come in a Variety of Types<\/b><\/p>\n
Promissory notes come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The differences are based on the type of debt and the details contained in the note:<\/span><\/p>\n

Commercial: <\/b>These notes are more official and detail the terms of the loan. This promissory note is associated with a home loan or other commercial property purchase.<\/span><\/li>\n
Investment: <\/b>A corporation can raise funds by issuing a promissory note, which can then be resold to other shareholders. Only experienced investors with the necessary means should take on the risks associated with these notes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Based on how the debt is to be returned, promissory notes may also differ:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
Lump-sum repayment:<\/b> The total loan balance is repaid all at once.<\/span><\/li>\n
Due on demand: <\/b>\u00a0When the lender demands repayment, the debtor must pay the debt on request.<\/span><\/li>\n
