FAQ
When a personal guarantee is given, the principals of the company pledge their own assets and agree to repay a debt from personal capital in case the company defaults. In short, the business owner or principal becomes a cosigner on the credit application.
A personal guaranty is not enforceable without consideration A contract is an enforceable promise. The enforceability of a contract comes from one party's giving of consideration to the other party. Here, the bank gives a loan (the consideration) in exchange for the guarantor's promise to repay it.
A personal guarantee can be enforced the same way as any debt. If the business owner does not pay, the creditor can bring a lawsuit to receive a judgment and levy the owner's personal assets to cover the debt. The exact terms of a personal guarantee specify a creditor's options under the guarantee.
An offer to guarantee must be accepted, either by express or implied acceptance. If a surety's assent to a guarantee has been procured by fraud by the person to whom it is given, there is no binding contract.
