What is this loan note certificate template?

The basics: This document is a loan note certificate with which a company certifies the holders of its issued loan notes. It should be used to evidence to issue of loan notes to a noteholder.

How do I use Docue's loan note certificate template?

Loan note instrument: This loan note certificate template should be used in conjunction with Docue's loan note instrument template, which is the legal agreement that will be signed by the company setting out the terms on which notes may be issued to multiple noteholders.

Signed as a deed: The loan note certificate will be signed by the company as a deed. To meet the legal formalities for signing deeds, it must therefore be signed by either (i) two directors; (ii) one director and the company secretary; or (iii) one director in the presence of a witness.

What information does Docue's loan note certificate template include?

Key information: the loan note certificate template includes:

  1. Details of the company issuing the loan notes;
  2. Details of the noteholder(s);
  3. The amount of loan notes held by the company, and the amount being issued to the noteholder(s);
  4. The interest rate on the loan notes;
  5. Whether or not the loan notes are transferable; and
  6. The governing law and jurisdiction that applies to the loan note certificate.

Half-year legal health check: is your business protected going into H2?

June marks a natural pause point in the business calendar. The first half of the year is behind you - targets have been chased, new suppliers onboarded, staff hired, and clients won. But as you look ahead to H2, there's one question worth asking before the summer holiday season kicks in and the pace slows: are your legal foundations actually keeping up with your business? For many UK SMEs, legal documents fall into a "set it and forget it" trap. A contract gets signed, filed away, and nobody looks at it again until something goes wrong. But businesses evolve quickly, and the legal and regulatory landscape evolves with it. What protected you eighteen months ago may not fully protect you today. Here's a practical guide to the key areas worth reviewing before you head into the second half of 2026.

The 'Handshake Deal' Trap: why verbal agreements are such a risk

In the fast-paced world of UK startups, speed is often seen as the ultimate asset. When you’re sitting in a coffee shop or on a Zoom call with a potential partner, freelancer or co-founder, it’s tempting to say, "Great, we’re on the same page - let’s just get started," and seal the deal with a metaphorical handshake. It feels agile. It feels like trust. But in the eyes of the law, it could be a minefield.
