Demand promissory note

A loan repayable whenever the lender asks

A simple written promise to repay a loan, where the lender can demand repayment at any time rather than on a fixed schedule. Founders and early-stage companies use these for short-term loans, such as a founder loaning the company cash before a financing round closes.
