The Reality Of Personal Guarantees: Safeguard Yourself and Your Future.

Are you a business owner or a company director feeling the weight of personal guarantee exposure? Personal guarantees can be powerful tools, but they also come with serious risks, especially if creditors come calling.

At Bell & Company, we specialise in helping you navigate these financial obligations and safeguard both your business and personal assets.

The Reality Of Personal Guarantees

Personal guarantees are legally binding commitments that could make you personally liable for your company’s debts. These agreements often seem straightforward but can expose your personal assets – including your home, savings, and investments – if your business encounters financial difficulty. Our team have seen firsthand the strain these guarantees can place on directors when business finances get complicated.

Why This Matters Now More Than Ever?

The rise of fintech and alternative lenders has led to a greater reliance on personal guarantees, with some lenders pushing agreements through with minimal due diligence. In a tightening economy, creditors see personal guarantees as the “lowest hanging fruit” when it comes to recouping their funds. This means that if your business faces challenges, creditors may bypass the company altogether and seek repayment directly from you.
