ondemandlennot

Ondemandlennot is a term that appears to describe a debt instrument formed by combining the phrases "on demand" and "loan note." It is not a widely standardized term and may be encountered in non-English sources or as a coined label for a specific financial arrangement. In practice, it most often refers to a callable loan note that can be repaid at the lender’s request.

Definition and features: A demand loan note is a promissory instrument issued by a borrower to a lender that gives the lender the right to demand repayment of principal and accrued interest on demand, subject to terms in the note. There is typically no fixed maturity date; the loan is meant to be short-term. Interest may be simple or variable, and notice periods for demands, if any, are specified. The note may be unsecured, though some agreements may include collateral.

Legal and practical considerations: Enforceability depends on the exact contract terms and local law. Whether such notes are negotiable instruments depends on jurisdiction and the drafting. The instrument is more common in private lending or informal financing than in standard corporate debt; it is often used to provide flexible liquidity rather than long-term financing.

Risks and use cases: For lenders, the principal risk is liquidity risk since repayment can be demanded at any time; for borrowers, it creates ongoing repayment obligations and potential cash strain. Tax treatment generally follows the interest component for the lender and the borrower’s deductibility, if allowed, for interest.

Related terms and context: It is related to promissory notes, demand notes, line of credit, and bridge loans.
