Description

In this solo episode of the Built Different Podcast, host Stephen Pettigrew delves into the topic of personal guarantees (PGs) in business loans. He explains what personal guarantees are, why business owners, particularly those with limited companies, should avoid signing them, and how they can cause severe financial and personal consequences if not managed properly. Stephen shares actual case studies of businesses that faced significant troubles due to PGs and provides practical solutions for mitigating their impact. He also offers advice on seeking alternative funding options that do not require personal guarantees and highlights the importance of professional legal advice in managing PGs. For business owners in need of support, Stephen invites them to reach out through the Monopoly Capital website or his LinkedIn profile.
