FAQ
What is a Convertible Note Agreement?
It is a short-term debt instrument that converts into equity (typically preferred stock) during a future qualified financing round, carrying interest and a maturity date.
How does a Convertible Note differ from a SAFE?
Unlike a SAFE, a Convertible Note is formal debt. It carries an interest rate, has a maturity date by which it must convert or be repaid, and contains repayment default terms.
What interest rates and maturity dates are standard?
Standard interest rates typically range from 4% to 8% annually, with maturity periods between 12 to 24 months.
Can one Note Purchase Agreement (NPA) handle multiple investors?
Yes. A Note Purchase Agreement allows multiple investors to participate in the same round under identical core terms.
Are these notes enforceable in all US states?
Yes, they are drafted in accordance with standard US commercial and contract laws (such as Delaware, NY, CA, and TX).
What happens if the note reaches maturity before conversion?
The agreement specifies provisions for maturity extension, repayment, or automatic conversion at an agreed valuation cap.
Do you include Board Consent to authorize the debt issuance?
Yes, corporate authorization via Board Resolutions is fully included in the Premium package.
Can you review a Convertible Note provided by an investor?
Yes. Select any package and upload the draft for legal review and redlining.
How are revisions handled?
Revisions are included to ensure all numbers, dates, and party details align perfectly with your agreed deal terms.
