An unsecured promissory note with a balloon payment can be a great way to obtain financing for your business. The note doesn't require collateral, and the balloon payment gives your business time to grow before having to make a substantial repayment.
Most formal promissory notes will include interest, but it is not a requirement for a legally valid promissory note. If you do not want to charge your friend or family member interest, then make the loan interest-free or use 0% as your interest rate.
When the loan is interest-only, you only pay interest throughout the life of the loan. The final payment on the loan is called a balloon payment and equals the entire principal. This amount is due at the end of the loan period.
A balloon payment is a larger-than-usual one-time payment at the end of the loan term. If you have a mortgage with a balloon payment, your payments may be lower in the years before the balloon payment comes due, but you could owe a big amount at the end of the loan.
A balloon mortgage is a home loan with an initial period of low or interest-only payments. The borrower pays off the balance in full at the end of the term. A balloon mortgage is usually short-term, often five to seven years.
