⚖️ 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.

🔍 Independent Legal Advice helps you understand:
✅ Your legal obligations – What responsibilities are you personally accepting under the guarantee?
✅ The financial risks – What could happen if your company fails to repay the borrowing?
✅ The implications for your assets – Could your savings, property or other personal assets be at risk?
✅ The terms of the agreement – What exactly are you committing to before you sign?

💼 How can Parachute Law help?
At Parachute Law, our solicitors provide Independent Legal Advice on Director's Personal Guarantees, helping you understand the agreement, your responsibilities and the potential consequences.

💻 Need to arrange your ILA appointment?

🏢 What is a Director's Personal Guarantee — and why might you be asked to sign one?
When a business applies for a loan, mortgage or other finance facility, a lender may ask a company director to provide a Personal Guarantee.

But what does that actually mean?

⚖️ A Director's Personal Guarantee is a legally binding commitment that can make you personally responsible for your company's borrowing if the business cannot repay its debts.
📌 When might a lender require one?
✅ Business loans – When your company is borrowing money to support its operations or growth.
✅ Commercial mortgages – When your business is securing finance for a property.
✅ Additional security – When a lender wants a director to personally guarantee the company's financial obligations.

⚠️ Why does this matter?
Signing a personal guarantee can put your own finances and assets at risk. It is important to understand the terms, extent of your liability and potential consequences before committing.

At Parachute Law, we provide Independent Legal Advice (ILA) on Director's Personal Guarantees, helping directors understand their obligations and the risks involved before signing.

⚖️ Director's Personal Guarantee: Do you know what you're signing?

Running a business often involves securing finance, but if your lender asks you to sign a Director's Personal Guarantee, it's important to understand what you're agreeing to.

A personal guarantee can make you personally liable for your company's debts if the business is unable to meet its financial obligations.

This means your personal finances and assets could be at risk, even though the borrowing is for your company.

🔍 Why is Independent Legal Advice (ILA) important?

Before signing, you may be required to obtain advice from an independent solicitor to ensure you understand:

✅ Your obligations – What responsibilities are you personally taking on?
✅ The financial risks – What could happen if your company cannot repay its borrowing?
✅ The terms of the guarantee – What are you agreeing to, and what could the consequences be?

At Parachute Law, we provide Independent Legal Advice on Director's Personal Guarantees, helping you understand the legal implications before making your decision.

🏡 **Helping someone get a mortgage without owning the property?**

A **Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor (JBSP) mortgage** allows someone, often a parent or family member, to support a mortgage application as a joint borrower without becoming a legal owner of the property.

Before signing, your mortgage lender may require you to obtain advice from an independent solicitor to ensure you understand:

✅ Your legal and financial obligations

✅ The risks of being responsible for a mortgage on a property you don't own

✅ The implications of entering into the mortgage agreement
