A shareholder (or stockholder) is an individual or institution who buys into a company and, in doing so, legally owns a percentage of it.
A Shareholder Loan Agreement, sometimes called a stockholder loan agreement, is an enforceable agreement between a shareholder and a corporation that details the terms of a loan (like the repayment schedule and interest rates) when a corporation borrows money from or owes money to a shareholder.
The Shareholder Loan Agreement is essentially evidence of a debt of a corporation to its shareholder.
For example, if a shareholder is an employee and is owed wages from the corporation, the parties could use a shareholder loan agreement to detail those amounts owed.
