    Reflects Minnesota law as of 2026. Professional review advisable.

    Why a Minnesota-specific promissory note?

    Minnesota bans new employee non-competes signed on or after July 1, 2023 (Minn. Stat. § 181.988). Your promissory note should reflect this — generic templates downloaded from the internet often miss Minnesota-specific requirements that decide whether the contract is enforceable.

    When you're ready to sign, you'll be guided through a short questionnaire, the document is generated and reviewed for issues, then you can download a PDF, e-sign it, or send it to a counterparty for signature. Professional review is advisable for high-stakes agreements.

    What makes this enforceable in Minnesota

    • Written and signed by both parties — Minnesota recognizes electronic signatures under UETA / ESIGN.
    • Supported by mutual consideration (something of value exchanged on each side).
    • Clear, unambiguous terms that a Minnesota court can read without rewriting.
    • Compliant with Minnesota statutory requirements for financial contracts.
