Nevada Promissory Note
Last Updated:
A Nevada Promissory Note is similar as an IOU, just with a classy spin. It's more of a two-of-us agreement, where one buddy borrows some bucks and swears they'll return them. It charts out the nitty-gritties, like when to repay and how much interest will tick up.
What is the Usury Rate for Nevada?
So, a usury rate is the highest legal interest mark-up you can stick on a loan. If someone tries to charge more, that's "usury," and it's a no-go by law. These rates take a scenic route across different states, so it makes sense to know your local playbook. Being buddies with the usury rate means you're borrowing with both eyes open and steering clear of potential potholes. It's certainly a digit worth knowing like the back of your hand if you're mulling over the idea of a loan for your business.
For Nevada, Parties may contract for a rate up to the lesser of 36% or the maximum rate permitted under the federal Military Lending Act. (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 99.050)

What's included in a Nevada Promissory Note?

- Closing and Delivery
- Representations, Warranties the Company
- Organization, Good Standing and Qualification
- Corporate Power

1. Amount and Terms of the Loan
"The Loan" part is your roadmap to the exact wad of cash you're entrusting to the company. This corner is a champ as it promises simplicity and covers both parties' backs. To get it done, just jot down the loan value in the blank field. Oh, and don't skip over "Exhibit A"—it's the promissory note serving as the written pledge and loan ticket.
In nutshell—this hotspot shines a spotlight on the dough you're throwing in, laying a concrete base for your promissory note deal.
The Loan. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to lend to the Company at the Closing $_________ (“Loan Amount”) against the issuance and delivery by the Company of a promissory note for such amount, attached as EXHIBIT A (“Note”).
2. Closing and Delivery
The CLOSING AND DELIVERY clause is the grand finale of your promissory note journey. In Closing, it's all about pinning down when we're calling it a wrap on this transaction. The execution date can be decided together—it's not bound to the day we first shook hands on the contract.
Delivery is more about the swap game—the borrower makes it rain with the loan moolah on the company, and in a give-and-take, the company hands over the finalized promissory note, which engraves the borrower's pay back commitments. This back-and-forth dance steps up transparency and drives commitment from the entire crew.
CLOSING AND DELIVERY
Closing. The closing of the sale and purchase of the Notes (the “Closing”) will be held on the Effective Date, or at such other time as the Company and Purchasers may mutually agree (such date is referred to as the “Closing Date”).
Delivery. At the Closing (i) Purchaser will deliver to the Company a check or wire transfer funds in the amount of the Loan Amount; and (ii) the Company will issue and deliver to Purchaser a Note in favor of Purchaser payable in the principal amount of Purchaser’s Loan Amount.
3. Representation, Warranties The Company
This bit involves the company fessing up about the truth of major details. This is one place they've got to color inside the lines, or they might end up in the legal doghouse. Tuck in the nitty-gritty about the company's piggy bank, machine room, or any close encounters with the law. It's key for building faith and keeping everybody in the loop in your agreement.
a. Organization, Good Standing and Qualification
The Organization, Good Standing and Qualification corner gives a thumbs-up to the company’s legit standing. Go ahead and add in which state is home base for the firm, greasing the gears for smooth operations and bolstering the trust vibes between everyone involved.
Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of [State]. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.
b. Corporate Power
The Corporate Power part affirms the company's legal green light to get this deal on the road and meet obligations. In a nutshell, it's saying: "We're legally good to go on this deal." It's a linchpin for building trust and keeping everything on the right side of the line. So, make sure to slot this section in and give it a solid read-through.
Corporate Power. The Company has all requisite corporate power to execute and deliver this Agreement, to issue the Note and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of the Note.
c. Authorization
The Authorization bit ticks off the company's stakeholder high-five and the note's above-board status. It's a crucial puzzle piece of your agreement that proof-checks every "i" is dotted and "t" crossed on the corporate actions front. This clause acts as a safety net for both sides and lays the groundwork for your agreement.
Authorization. All corporate action has been taken on the part of the Company, its directors and its stockholders necessary for the authorization of the Note and the execution, delivery and performance of all obligations of the Company under the Note. The Note, when executed and delivered by the Company, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, the relief of debtors.
d. Compliance with Laws
The Compliance with Laws slice declares that your outfit isn't wittingly flouting any rules that could put your biz in a pickle. Tossing this provision into the mix calms everyone's nerves, showing your company's promise to play by the rulebook.
Compliance with Laws. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency in respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties, which violation would materially and adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or operations of the Company.
e. Use of Proceeds
The Use of Proceeds spot underlines the loan is purely professional, not a personal piggy bank. It's instrumental in keeping things crystal clear and holding up your rep with the money-lending crowd.
Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds of the Note for the operations of its business, and not for any personal, family or household purpose.
Can a promissory note be used without a mortgage?
Absolutely, a promissory note can fly solo without a mortgage. A promissory note is like a trusty roadmap that lays down loan term ground rules, while a mortgage is the security blanket backing the loan up with something solid, like real estate. You can have promissory notes for both secured and unsecured loans, so striking a deal without a mortgage, landing you an unsecured loan, is doable. Heads up, though: a mortgage usually needs a promissory note to outline payback plans and solidify the borrower's commitment to repaying the loan.
How do you collect from a promissory note?
To cash in on a promissory note, add up the full amount due, including interest and fees. Reach out to the debtor with a well-penned letter. If they don't cough up the cash, ponder the legal route. Make sure your paperwork is tip-top and chat with a legal whiz, as local rules can differ. Don't let things get too pushy with the debtor, as it might be off-limits. Give a lawyer a buzz to keep things smooth sailing.
