Definition: A Promissory Note is a document that is part of a business loan package. The promissory note details the terms of repayment, including principal and interest, the length of the loan, late fees, and whether there is a prepayment penalty. It also describes the circumstances under which the borrower may be in default, and what happens in the event of default.
