Signing a personal guarantee is often a prerequisite to securing personal finance but are you prepared if something goes wrong?<\/span><\/p>\n

Many lenders require company directors to sign a personal guarantee in order to secure business finance. This means that, should the business become unable to pay for any reason, the guarantor is personally liable to pay for the lease or loan obligations from their personal assets; including legal fees, interest and otherwise.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s at stake?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Personal guarantees are often not tied to one particular asset, so if the business fails to make the payment to the lender, they will contractually be able to recover the funds from the director\u2019s personal estate. Unfortunately, this means as well as your finances, your home, car and other assets could also be at risk.<\/p>\n

Why is it necessary? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Many lenders require directors to sign a personal guarantee as it demonstrates that they are willing to stand behind their business. After all, if they\u2019re not willing to put their personal finances at stake for their own business, then why should the lender? It also gives them the assurance that if your business becomes insolvent or bankrupt, they will still be able to recover the funds they are owed.<\/p>\n

Protecting yourself\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As a company director, signing a personal guarantee is a daunting prospect, especially as some also require your spouses to sign the contract. Whilst you have full confidence and faith in your business, it can be impossible to predict what\u2019s around the corner and the financial impact of meeting the shortfalls on business finance following insolvency can be devastating, to say the least. Our Personal Guarantee Insurance <\/strong><\/a>can help protect and support you in such times.<\/p>\n
