The Memorandum of Understanding For Loan Agreement is a crucial preliminary document used in Canadian lending transactions when parties want to document their initial understanding before committing to a formal loan agreement. It is particularly valuable in complex commercial lending scenarios where detailed due diligence and negotiations are required. The document typically includes proposed loan terms, conditions, timelines, and specific binding provisions (such as confidentiality and exclusivity), while maintaining its generally non-binding nature. It must comply with Canadian federal legislation such as the Interest Act and Bank Act, as well as relevant provincial laws governing contracts and secured transactions. This document serves as a roadmap for the transaction, helping parties align their expectations and identify key issues early in the process while protecting their interests during the negotiation phase.
