Development of a loan agreement between individuals
Borrowing funds from acquaintances or friends is a common practice. However, such actions, not supported by a properly executed contract, can lead to serious problems.
Why do you need a loan agreement?
A loan agreement is a legal document that clearly regulates the terms of lending funds by one person (lender) to another (borrower). It protects the interests of both parties, clearly outlining:
- Loan amount: exactly how much money is transferred;
- Loan currency: in which currency the loan is granted and returned;
- Repayment period: when exactly the borrower is obliged to return the funds;
- Interest rate: is there provision for interest payment for using the loan, if so, at what rate;
- Procedure for transferring and returning funds: exactly how the loan will be transferred and returned (in cash, bank transfer, etc.);
- Liability of the parties: what sanctions are applied in case of late refund or other violations of the terms of the contract.

Why should you not make this contract without the involvement of a lawyer?
Drawing up a loan agreement yourself can lead to the following problems:
- Imperfect wording: unclear or ambiguous wording can lead to different interpretations of the terms of the contract and, as a result, to disputes;
- Absence of important provisions: the contract may not contain all the necessary clauses, which makes it legally invalid or does not provide full protection to the parties;
- Non-observance of legal formalities: incorrect execution of the contract may deprive it of legal force.
The main features of a loan agreement between individuals
- Written form: the loan agreement for the amount of more than UAH 170 must be concluded in writing.
- Notarization: Notarization of the contract is not mandatory, but may be desirable, as it gives it greater legal force.
- Interest rate: if the contract provides for the payment of interest, its amount cannot exceed the maximum level established by the National Bank of Ukraine.
- Refunds: funds are usually returned in one lump sum within the term established by the contract. However, phased return is also allowed.
- Early repayment: the contract may provide for the borrower’s right to early repayment.
- Collateral: collateral may be provided to ensure the performance of the borrower’s obligations.

Do you need a service urgently?
Is it possible to go through the bankruptcy procedure if the debt is less than 180,000 UAH?
Bankruptcy can be filed regardless of the amount of debt — there are no minimum limits set by law. However, if the amount of debt is less than UAH 180,000, it is usually more advisable to agree on debt restructuring, as bankruptcy may be economically unprofitable.
If I am not in Kyiv, can I cooperate with you?
Yes, we work remotely throughout Ukraine and even with clients abroad! We have many clients from Lviv, Odessa, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Cherkasy and other settlements.
Communication is carried out in any way convenient for you.
