Answer:
It makes the borrower personally liable for the debt.
Explanation:
A promissory note sometimes referred to as a note payable, is a legal instrument or financial instrument in which one party (maker or issuer) promises in writing to pay a determinate or definite sum of money to the other (the payee) either at a specified or determinable future time or on demand of the payee under specific terms.
It allows companies and individuals to get financing from a source other than a bank. This source can be an individual or a company willing to carry the note and provide the financing under agreed upon terms.
It typically contains all the terms pertaining to indebtedness, such as:
* Principal amount
* Interest rate
* Maturity date
* Date and place of issuance, and,
* Signatures.
One's promissory note could include a personal guarantee and once you sign, you are personally responsible for the loan.
