What is a Friendly Loan Agreement?

The Friendly Loan Agreement is specifically designed for situations where individuals in Ireland wish to formalize a loan arrangement with friends, family members, or close associates. It provides a clear legal framework while maintaining the informal and amicable nature of the relationship. The document is particularly useful when the loan amount is significant enough to warrant formal documentation but the parties prefer to avoid commercial lending channels. It complies with Irish contract law and consumer protection requirements while being simpler than commercial loan agreements. The agreement includes essential provisions for loan terms, repayment, and default scenarios, with optional sections for security and guarantors. This template helps prevent future misunderstandings and provides legal protection while preserving the friendly nature of the arrangement.
