Loans & money
Lending between private individuals, guarantees, repayment plans and debt collection. Each document below is written and reviewed by Swedish lawyers, has one fixed price, and comes with an English explanation of the rules behind it.
How to choose in loans & money
Choose the document by the relationship between the parties and the obligation you need to record. A loan, shared borrowing, guarantee, payment plan and payment reminder answer different questions.
Questions to answer before you start
- Who owes whom, and what amount or obligation must be documented?
- What payment dates, instalments or other agreed conditions need to be clear?
- Are several borrowers or a separate guarantor involved?
When a standard document may not be enough: Disputed debts, unclear transfers or arrangements involving a business and several forms of security may need individual review.
Promissory note
Swedish: SkuldebrevWritten proof of a loan: amount, interest, repayment plan and what happens on late payment. Between family and friends it is also the document that shows the Swedish Tax Agency the money was a loan and not a gift.
895 krRead moreCo-borrower agreement
Swedish: MedlåntagaravtalWhere two people take a loan together, this settles between them who pays what. The bank can pursue either of you for the whole debt regardless — this agreement decides how you settle up with each other.
895 krRead moreRecourse agreement
Swedish: RegressavtalGives you the right to claim back from the others when you have paid more than your share of a joint debt or guarantee. Without it, recovering the money can be considerably harder than it should be.
895 krRead moreCommercial loan agreement
Swedish: Kommersiellt låneavtalA loan between businesses, or between an owner and their company: amount, interest, security, covenants, repayment and default. Interest between related parties needs to be on market terms for tax purposes.
1 495 krRead moreSimple promissory note
Swedish: Enkelt skuldebrev (revers)A short, one-page acknowledgement of debt naming a specific creditor. Enough for a straightforward private loan where you do not need instalments, security or transferability.
295 krRead morePayment reminder and demand letter
Swedish: Betalningspåminnelse & kravbrevThe formal reminder that starts the clock on late payment. It sets out the invoice, the deadline, the statutory default interest and the reminder fee, and it is the step that has to come before debt collection.
195 krRead moreInstalment plan
Swedish: AvbetalningsplanRestructures an existing debt into agreed instalments: amounts, dates, interest and what happens if a payment is missed. Useful for both sides when the alternative is collection proceedings.
295 krRead moreGuarantee undertaking
Swedish: BorgensförbindelseA guarantee for someone else's debt. The type matters enormously: with proprieborgen the creditor can come straight to you, while with simple guarantee they must first try to recover from the borrower. Banks always require the former.
795 krRead moreParking fine appeal
Swedish: Bestridande av parkeringsbotSweden has two entirely separate parking fine systems with different laws, different recipients and different deadlines. Sending the right objection to the wrong one is the most common reason an appeal quietly fails.
295 krRead morePromissory note for an unequal deposit
Swedish: Skuldebrev vid olika kontantinsatserYou bought a home together but one of you put in a much larger deposit. This records the difference as a debt rather than a gift, and sets out interest, when it falls due and what happens if the property changes in value.
