All loans insured by the SBA require a personal guarantee from every owner with a 20 percent or greater equity stake in the business.
Pursuant to 13 CFR § 120.160(a), all SBA 7(a) loans must be guaranteed by at least one person or entity. Generally, guarantees are required of any individual or entity who owns 20% or more of a borrower entity.
Individuals who own 20% or more of a small business applicant must provide an unlimited personal guaranty. SBA Lenders may use this form.
