Loan Agreement (Unsecured)

An Unsecured Loan Agreement establishes credit terms without collateral, relying on borrower creditworthiness. This playbook focuses on interest provisions, representations, and remedies for nonpayment.

Conditions Precedent

Why This Matters: Ambiguous or onerous conditions precedent can stall financing and increase execution risk. Clarity on requirements and timing ensures smooth transaction closure.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Lender:

Ensure conditions are specific, measurable, and achievable. Include realistic timelines and documentation requirements. Allocate responsibilities clearly between parties.

If you're the Borrower:

Confirm that all conditions are realistic and align with the transaction's goals. Ensure that the Borrower has the capacity to fulfill these conditions within the timeline.

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, conditions precedent should be more stringent to mitigate potential risks and ensure thorough due diligence.

Cross-Border Transactions

For cross-border transactions, consider additional conditions related to regulatory approvals and currency exchange requirements.

Start-Up Financing

In start-up financing, conditions may be more flexible to accommodate the evolving nature of the business and its needs.
