A personal loan agreement in Ireland records the terms on which one person lends money to another person or a business. Lending money to family, a friend or a business without a written agreement is risky. This template is a loan agreement covering the parties, amount, interest (if any), instalments and dates, early repayment, events of default and what happens if the borrower does not pay. You receive the agreement ready for signing, with signing instructions.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a personal loan agreement cost in Ireland?
The price of this self-complete template is shown at the top of this page. You pay once and there are no further charges from us. The price covers the template and guidance notes only — it does not include legal advice or review by a solicitor.
Do I need a written agreement to lend money to family?
It is not always legally required, but a written agreement makes the terms clear, reduces the risk of misunderstanding and makes it easier to recover the money if something goes wrong.
Can a loan agreement be interest-free?
Yes. The agreement can provide for interest or no interest. Tax consequences can arise in some cases, so you may want to take tax advice on larger loans.
