What Is Personal Guarantee Insurance?

Personal Guarantee Insurance is an optional insurance product designed to help protect individuals who provide a personal guarantee when securing business finance. In the event that a personal guarantee is called upon following a default, PGI may provide cover towards the outstanding liability, subject to the terms, conditions, and exclusions of the policy.
This insurance is provided by third-party insurers and is not a requirement for obtaining finance. Availability and eligibility will depend on individual circumstances and the specific lender requirements. If you would like more information about Personal Guarantee Insurance, we can introduce you to the relevant provider who can explain the product in more detail.
PGI is available for a wide range of business finance facilities, including:
  • Invoice finance
  • Asset-based lending
  • Commercial mortgages
  • Secured and unsecured loans
  • Peer-to-peer lending
  • Property finance
