All loans insured by the SBA require a personal guarantee from every owner with a 20 percent or greater equity stake in the business.
A debt assumption involves two simultaneous transactions; the first transaction cancels the original debtor's obligation, and the second transaction creates a new debt contract between the creditor and the new debtor, or assumer.
The purpose of an assumption agreement is to ensure the seller is freed from their obligations, while the buyer agrees to take on these obligations. Legally, the seller could still be held liable if they don't have a proper assumption agreement in place that absolves them of those responsibilities.
An assumption agreement, sometimes called an assignment and assumption agreement, is a legal document that allows one party to transfer rights and/or obligations to another party. It allows one party to "assume" the rights and responsibilities of the other party.
