Promissory Note for Interest-Free Loan | Canada

Purpose of Promissory Note for Interest Only

This Promissory Note template is designed to help secure the repayment of a loan made within Canada. It provides a clear framework for both lenders and borrowers regarding the repayment terms and expectations.

Interest-Only Payment Terms

Under this Note, the borrower is required to make payments that cover only the accrued interest on the loan. No payments toward the principal amount are necessary until the specific date outlined in the Note. This allows the borrower to manage cash flow by deferring principal repayments until a later time.

Schedule of Interest Payments

Interest payments are to be made in arrears, following a regular payment schedule as defined in the terms of the Note. This ensures that the lender receives compensation for the use of their funds over the period of the loan.

Principal Repayment and Prepayment

The principal sum of the loan may be repaid at any time chosen by the borrower, without incurring any penalty or additional fee. This flexibility benefits the borrower, allowing for early repayment if desired.

Format and Availability

This template is provided in Microsoft Word format, making it easy to edit and customize to suit the specific details of your transaction. Users are encouraged to modify the document as necessary to reflect the terms agreed upon by both parties.

• The buyer will pay off the balance of the purchase price in regular installments, rather than having to come up with all of the purchase money in order to close the sale.
• The Note contains an acceleration clause, meaning if the maker defaults in a payment, the entire balance together with interest becomes immediately due and payable.
• Get the Purchase Money Promissory Note signed at the same time that the other documents for the real estate purchase are executed by the buyer.
