A Director’s/Shareholder’s Loan Agreement is a loan agreement for a company to borrow money from its director or shareholder.

Unlike a commercial loan agreement, a loan under a Director’s/Shareholder’s Loan Agreement can be interest-free and repayable on demand.

Given the relationship between the borrower and the lender, a Director’s/ Shareholder’s Loan Agreement does not contain extensive representations and warranties, nor any obligations or restrictions on the borrower's part.

Important points to be included in the agreement:

  • Principal amount;

  • Interest rate (if any);

  • Availability period; and

  • Dates for repayment.
