Financial
Forms Legal provides free financial and lending templates — promissory notes, loan agreements, IOUs, invoices, and debt-settlement letters — for 30 jurisdictions in their official language. Each document references the governing financial or contract statute, is completed through a guided wizard, and downloads as PDF or Word with no account or payment required.
When Do You Need Financial Documents?
- Lending or borrowing money between individuals or businesses
- Selling personal property, vehicles, or equipment
- Establishing payment plans for outstanding debts
- Creating invoices for products or services rendered
- Documenting donations for tax deduction purposes
- Recording financial transactions for accounting and legal compliance
Essential Elements of Financial Agreements
- Principal amount and currency clearly stated
- Interest rate and calculation method (simple or compound)
- Repayment schedule with specific due dates and amounts
- Late payment penalties and grace period provisions
- Collateral or security descriptions if applicable
- Default conditions and remedies available to the lender
- Compliance with usury laws and consumer protection regulations
Pro Tip: Every state and province has usury laws that cap maximum interest rates on personal loans. Exceeding these limits can make your agreement unenforceable and subject you to penalties. Always verify applicable interest rate limits before drafting loan documents.

Promissory Note
Lending money to a friend, family member, or business partner? A handshake isn't enough. A Promissory Note puts the loan terms in writing — the amount, interest rate, repayment schedule, and what happens if payments are missed. It protects the lender's right to collect and gives the borrower clear expectations. Whether it's a personal loan or a business advance, having it documented makes all the difference. Our free template covers principal, interest, late fees, and default terms. Fill it out, preview, and download as PDF or Word.
Loan Agreement
Lending money to a friend, family member, or business partner? Handshake deals go south fast when memories differ. A Loan Agreement puts the amount, interest rate, repayment schedule, and late-payment penalties in black and white — protecting both the lender and the borrower. It's the difference between a favor and a legal obligation. Our template covers secured and unsecured loans, prepayment terms, default remedies, and governing law. Enter the loan details, preview in real time, and download as PDF or Word — free, no account needed.
Invoice Template
Finished a project and need to get paid? A clear, professional invoice makes sure there's no confusion about what's owed and when. It lists the services or products, quantities, rates, taxes, and payment due date — everything your client needs to process the payment without back-and-forth emails. Works for freelancers, small businesses, and contractors alike. Our template lets you add line items, set payment terms, and include your business details. Fill it out, preview instantly, and download as PDF or Word — free, no sign-up.
Demand Letter
Before you file a lawsuit, try a Demand Letter. It’s a formal written request telling someone they owe you money, need to fulfill an obligation, or must take a specific action — and that you’re serious enough to take legal action if they don’t comply. Many disputes get resolved at this stage, saving both sides the cost and hassle of going to court. A well-written demand letter states the facts, explains the legal basis, specifies exactly what you want, and sets a clear deadline. Our free template guides you through each section. Fill it out, preview your letter, and download as PDF or Word.
Debt Acknowledgment
Sometimes you lend money to a friend, a family member, or a business partner with nothing more than a handshake. A Debt Acknowledgment fixes that by creating a written record where the borrower formally admits they owe a specific amount. It’s not a full loan agreement — it’s simpler than that. It just confirms the debt exists, states the amount, and may outline basic repayment terms. If things go sideways, this document can be your best evidence in court. Our free template covers the debtor and creditor details, the amount owed, and repayment conditions. Download as PDF or Word.
Debt Settlement Agreement
Drowning in debt you can’t fully repay? Or are you the creditor tired of chasing payments? A Debt Settlement Agreement lets both sides negotiate a resolution — typically the debtor pays a reduced lump sum or a structured payment plan, and the creditor agrees to forgive the remaining balance. It’s a practical way to resolve debt without going to collections or court. The document covers the original debt amount, the settlement amount, payment schedule, and a release of claims once the terms are met. Our free template makes the process straightforward. Download as PDF or Word.
Payment Plan Agreement
Owe money but can't pay it all at once? Or someone owes you and you'd rather get paid in installments than not at all? A Payment Plan Agreement breaks a debt into manageable chunks — setting the amount, frequency, interest (if any), late fees, and what triggers a default. It protects both sides and keeps the arrangement enforceable. Our template covers the total balance, installment schedule, payment method, penalties, and acceleration clauses. Fill in the terms, preview in real time, and download as PDF or Word — free, no account needed.
