Loan Agreement Generator (Singapore)

A loan agreement is the written contract documenting the amount lent, interest rate, and repayment schedule when one party lends money to another in Singapore. This free Singapore loan agreement generator produces agreements for personal loans between family or friends, and business loans between companies or individuals, noting that businesses regularly lending money generally need a licence under the Moneylenders Act 2008, while one-off loans between family or friends are typically exempt. It is designed for individuals lending to family or friends, and businesses extending credit to other businesses, who need clear, enforceable repayment terms. The generator lets you specify interest (if any), a repayment schedule or lump-sum repayment date, and what happens on default, including any security offered. Use it to protect the lender's right to repayment and avoid ambiguity about whether money was a loan or a gift.

Frequently asked questions

What is a loan agreement?

A loan agreement is a written contract that records the amount lent, the interest rate (if any), and how and when the loan must be repaid.

Do I need a written loan agreement for lending to family or friends in Singapore?

It is not legally required, but strongly recommended, since a written agreement avoids disputes about whether money transferred was a loan or a gift.

Does the Moneylenders Act 2008 apply to my loan?

If you are in the business of regularly lending money at interest, you generally need a licence under the Moneylenders Act 2008; loans between family members or friends made on a one-off, non-business basis are typically exempt.

Can a loan agreement include interest?

Yes, though licensed moneylenders are subject to statutory caps on interest and fees, while private, exempt lenders have more flexibility, subject to general contract law.

What should a loan agreement include?

The loan amount, interest rate (if any), repayment schedule or due date, what happens on late payment or default, and any security or guarantee provided.

What happens if a borrower doesn't repay a loan in Singapore?

The lender can pursue the debt through negotiation, a formal letter of demand, or ultimately court proceedings, and a written loan agreement makes it far easier to prove the debt exists.
