I will draft a professional promissory note with a security interest
Licensed US Attorney, Expert Legal Document Drafting for Your Business
About this Gig
Lending money without proper documentation is a significant risk. A simple IOU is not enough. To truly protect your investment, you need a Promissory Note secured by collateral. This means if the borrower defaults, you have a legal right to take possession of a specified asset.
As a licensed US attorney (Bar #62434) with extensive experience in transactional law, I will draft a comprehensive Promissory Note and Security Agreement that gives you a powerful layer of protection.
Why a Secured Note is Essential:
- Reduces Risk: It secures your loan against a tangible asset, drastically reducing the risk of a total loss.
- Provides Leverage: It gives you a clear, legal remedy (repossession) in the event of non-payment.
- Establishes Priority: When properly filed (e.g., UCC-1), it establishes your legal priority over other creditors for that specific asset.
My Drafting Service Covers:
- Principal Amount and Interest Rate
- Repayment Schedule (Amortization)
- Detailed Description of the Collateral
- Default Clauses and Remedies
- Clauses for Perfecting Your Security Interest (UCC language)

FAQ
What is a "Security Interest" and why do I need it?
A security interest is a legal right granted by a debtor to a creditor over the debtor's property (the collateral). It allows the creditor to repossess the property if the debtor defaults on the loan, providing a crucial way to recover your money.
What is a UCC-1 Filing and do you handle that?
A UCC-1 financing statement is a public notice that a creditor has a security interest in a debtor's personal property. I do NOT handle the filing. However, the Premium Gig provides a Security Agreement with the specific language needed for you to file a UCC-1 with the appropriate state agency.
What kind of collateral can be used?
Collateral can be almost any valuable asset, such as vehicles, equipment, inventory, real estate (though that requires a mortgage/deed of trust), accounts receivable, or other business assets.
Is this document valid in my state?
I draft the documents based on general principles of U.S. contract law and the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which has been adopted in some form by all 50 states. It is a strong, enforceable template that you can use with confidence.
What's the difference between this and a loan agreement?
A promissory note is primarily a promise to pay. This gig combines that promise with a security agreement. A full loan agreement (my other gig) is often more detailed, including covenants, warranties, and more extensive terms beyond just payment and collateral.
