Personal Guarantee Clause and Agreement

Description

Director’s Personal Guarantee Clause & Mini Agreement

 

WHEN TO USE THIS DOCUMENT

This Guarantee document is a short easy to use clause with template agreement allowing whoever is offering credit to a company (the creditor) to take a personal guarantee from a director of that company. The director will be promising to repay the creditor if the company does not pay .

This agreement can be customised so that the director makes an unlimited guarantee (not limited to a specific amount of money) or alternatively it can be limited to a maximum specified sum of money (e.g. limited to £1,000).

The agreement also means that the creditor is not obliged to pursue the company directly or first if it fails to pay but can enforce the guarantee by demanding that the director make repayment.

The director can end the guarantee by giving 14 days notice to the creditor. However, the director will still be liable for guaranteeing repayment of any credit that the creditor has given to the debtor until that 14 days notice period has passed.
