An Internal Loan Agreement is essential for documenting and formalizing financial arrangements between related entities within a corporate group in Hong Kong. This document is typically used when one group entity provides funding to another, whether for working capital, expansion projects, or other corporate purposes. The agreement must comply with Hong Kong's legal framework, including the Companies Ordinance, tax regulations, and financial reporting requirements. It should include comprehensive terms covering loan amount, interest, repayment, security (if any), and default provisions. The Internal Loan Agreement serves multiple purposes: it creates legal certainty, supports tax compliance, aids in financial reporting, and demonstrates proper corporate governance. It's particularly important in Hong Kong where regulators expect clear documentation of related-party transactions and transfer pricing arrangements.
