In a territory where the judge arrives by plane, prevention is worth a great deal more than cure. A Nunavut loan agreement settles the terms of a family or friend loan up front — signed by both of you from your phones, no travel required.
A lawyer typically charges $450+. Lend Right is free to draft; $29 to certify & sign — and that's the borrower's by default.
Nunavut’s justice system is unlike anywhere else in Canada: since 1999 the Nunavut Court of Justice has been the country’s only unified, single-level trial court, hearing everything from small claims (up to roughly $20,000) to the most serious matters — much of it via fly-in circuit court across 25 communities.
Practically, that means enforcement is slow and far away by design of geography. The smartest move a lender can make here isn’t planning for court — it’s making court unnecessary. A clear, signed agreement does that: both people see the same terms, the same dates, the same consequences, before a dollar moves.
No printers, no couriers, no waiting for someone’s next trip to Iqaluit. You answer plain-language questions, the agreement takes shape as you type, and the borrower receives a secure signing link on their phone. Two e-signatures later, you each hold a locked PDF with a certificate recording exactly who signed and when — recognized for ordinary contracts in Nunavut as across Canada.
Draft the whole thing free, edit until it’s right.
Zero for the lender. One $29 fee — the borrower’s by default — certifies the document and gathers both e-signatures.
Given how few practising lawyers serve the territory’s civil work, a purpose-built self-help document is frequently the only realistic option for an ordinary personal loan — and here it’s also the affordable one.
Free for you. Both sign on your phones. Done in minutes.

No. A properly signed agreement is just as binding whether the parties are in Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet, or Ottawa. E-signatures are recognized for ordinary contracts, and each Lend Right agreement carries a tamper-evident signing certificate.
The essentials: both parties (each 19 or older, Nunavut's age of majority), the amount, the repayment schedule, any interest under the 35% APR federal cap, and both signatures. The builder collects all of it through plain questions.
By default, the borrower — drafting is free and the lender pays nothing. The lender can choose to cover the $29 instead; either way it's once, not a subscription.
