Lending to a sibling for seeding season, or helping a kid in Saskatoon with first and last month’s rent? Put it in writing with a Saskatchewan loan agreement that follows the province’s rules — drafted free, e-signed by both of you in about four minutes.
A lawyer typically charges $450+. Lend Right is free to draft; $29 to certify & sign — and that's the borrower's by default.
Saskatchewan quietly became one of the best provinces in Canada to be an unpaid lender. On April 1, 2024 the small claims limit in Provincial Court jumped from $30,000 to $50,000 — second-highest in the country. In plain terms: if a large family loan ever goes wrong, you can still use the simpler, cheaper small claims process instead of a formal Court of King’s Bench action.
That protection only works if there’s something to show the court. A judge can enforce a signed document that names the parties, the amount, and the repayment terms. A memory of a conversation over coffee in Regina is much harder.
Equipment bridge. A parent fronts $38,000 so a son can grab a used air drill before spring. With the new $50,000 ceiling, that whole amount stays inside small claims territory — provided it’s documented.
City deposit. An aunt lends $7,500 toward a condo deposit in Saskatoon. A short written schedule — $312.50 a month for two years — keeps Thanksgiving dinners friendly.
Getting through a rough patch. Friends split the cost of a transmission rebuild, to be repaid “when things settle.” Lend Right turns “when things settle” into an actual date both people agreed to.
Build the complete agreement at no cost, with Saskatchewan set as the governing province.
You pay nothing as the lender. By default the borrower covers the one-time $29 to certify and e-sign — you can take it over if you prefer.
Compare that with $450+ for a lawyer-drafted personal loan agreement in Saskatchewan — for a document that ends up saying much the same thing.
Free for you. Both sign on your phones. Done in minutes.
Create my loan agreement →Yes. Since April 1, 2024, Saskatchewan's Provincial Court hears small claims up to $50,000 — the second-highest ceiling in Canada — so even a sizeable family loan can be recovered without a full King's Bench action.
Generally two years from when the claim is discovered, under The Limitations Act. A dated, signed agreement — and any written acknowledgment of the debt — keeps that clock unambiguous.
Yes, as long as the effective annual rate stays under the federal 35% APR criminal ceiling. Plenty of Saskatchewan families pick the CRA prescribed rate, or skip interest altogether.
No. Lend Right supports parties in different provinces; you choose the governing province when you build the agreement, and both people e-sign from wherever they are.

Electronic signing: e-signatures are recognized for ordinary contracts in Saskatchewan; each agreement is finalized as a locked PDF with a tamper-evident certificate of signers and timestamps. A signed agreement is strong evidence — enforceability always depends on the facts of the loan.
