What is Personal Guarantee Insurance?

Personal Guarantee Insurance (PGI) provides protection for a director or directors who have personally guaranteed a loan taken out by a company.. Directors providing personal guarantees allow businesses to access credit that will enable them to sustain their operations and provide the opportunity for expansion. They are particularly attractive to SMEs who may not otherwise be able to secure the type of funding they need to support their business. For creditors, Personal Guarantees provide a certain amount of protection against the money they are loaning to a company. It also enables them to continue working with new enterprises in the business community to provide a platform for many businesses may not typically have access to. However, there are risks involved, and before signing a personal guarantee close attention must be paid to the finer details of the agreement. Should the business fall into difficulty and the person who signed the personal guarantee is asked to repay it can have a heavy impact on their personal finances. Taking out a Personal Guarantee Insurance can provide coverage for up to 80% of the remaining amount. This will depend on the amount of cover purchased through the agreement and the terms stated on the policy.

How can you insure a Personal Guarantee?

When the company initially applies to take out a loan, it is almost impossible to know if there will be any change to the company’s circumstances in the years to come. The company applies for the funds with the best of intentions, hoping to use the additional finance to help support and grow your business.

However, due to the unexpected nature of the business world, events may happen that mean the company is unable to keep up repayments at a later date. This is often through no fault of your own but means bearing the personal responsibility of repaying a large loan which can be extremely stressful.

This is why taking out insurance against a personal guarantee should be considered. It offers some peace of mind and protection in the event the company defaults on the loan and the personal guarantee is called in by the creditor.

The amount and cost of insurance cover available will vary as it is subject to a credit check on the company and each case is assessed on its own merits based on your company’s unique circumstances.

Insurance can be taken out either by the directors individually or on behalf of the directors by the limited company or LLP. And, if required, multiple guarantors can be included on a single policy.

When do you need Personal Guarantee Insurance?

If the company has taken out a loan with a creditor that has required you to offer a Personal Guarantee and the company is unable to pay it back in full, the personal guarantee is likely to be called in once it defaults.

Business owners or directors that find themselves in this situation might benefit from having PGI in place depending on its availability and affordability. It is also important to remember that a PGI is not always appropriate or available as each case is assessed on an individual basis.

We do not provide insurance ourselves but can put you in contact with organisations that do.
