โ๏ธ Why do you need Independent Legal Advice (ILA) for a Director's Personal Guarantee?
Your business may be borrowing the money, but you could be personally responsible for repaying it.
When a lender asks you to sign a Director's Personal Guarantee, they will often require you to obtain Independent Legal Advice before signing.
But why is this important?
A personal guarantee is a legally binding commitment that could put your personal finances and assets at risk if your company cannot meet its financial obligations.
๐ Independent Legal Advice helps you understand:
โ
Your legal obligations โ What responsibilities are you personally accepting under the guarantee?
โ
The financial risks โ What could happen if your company fails to repay the borrowing?
โ
The implications for your assets โ Could your savings, property or other personal assets be at risk?
โ
The terms of the agreement โ What exactly are you committing to before you sign?
