Document overview

This personal guarantee is the equivalent of the "PG" your bank might ask you to sign when storm clouds gather around your company. It is for use in any situation requiring an individual to guarantee the debt of a company, but most usually when the guarantor is a director. It is applicable to any situation where money is owed, and suitable for use by the lender or the guarantor as it provides a wide range of options to produce a final version with a high or a very high level of lender security.

About this document

This is a professionally drawn personal guarantee agreement for a lender to put to a company director as a condition of either increased lending or forbearance in enforcement of existing loan conditions. First, it identifies an original loan agreement between the lender and the company, then ties the guarantor to it, to “stand in the shoes” of the company in the event that it was unable to make repayment when due.

The agreement provides many options primarily to strengthen the position of the lender. Some could be deleted so as to provide a softer agreement for the guarantor if required.

The law in this document

There is no modern statutory law relating to guarantees. This document is based on contract common law.

Net Lawman also offers other document templates relating to guarantees and indemnities.

Agreement features and contents

  • The key benefit of using this document over adding a guarantee paragraph to the original contract is the simplicity of use. There is no need to edit and agree the original contract. That means less room for making a mistake and invalidating some provision of it.
  • Provides heavyweight protection for the lender.
  • The document highlights the continuing liability of the guarantor (usually the director who is personally liable for the company debt).

I used Netlawman to pre-work some contracts for my lawyer. He came back stating that the forms were 'excellent' and saved me several billable hours.

The document was just what I needed and as it was the only one I needed I was very pleased to be able to buy it without having to acquire a suite of documents I did not need.The advice that came with the document was excellent and very helpful in tailoring it to my needs.

I will definitely look to using the service again.
