Personal Guarantee Insurance

What is a Personal Guarantee (PG)?

Firstly what is PG Insurance? To begin with a personal guarantee is a contract by which someone promises to pay any deficiencies on a specific loan or account which cannot be met by the principal debtor.

Secondly most guarantee forms require joint and several liabilities, meaning that each individual who signs a guarantee can be held responsible for the whole amount of the loan.

Thirdly there are many unforeseen circumstances that can have adverse effects on your business and your bottom line, from market downturns and key customers going out of business to suppliers failing in their duty and illness or absence of a key individual within the company.
