Personal guarantee
A promise by an individual to repay business debt personally if the business does not.
The SBA requires a guarantee from every owner of 20% or more. Most conventional business lenders and nearly all business credit card issuers require one too.
A personal guarantee means business debt is personal debt at default, regardless of the entity structure.
