Legal Advice
Business Loan Guarantors
Sunshine Coast | Brisbane | Queensland | Australia wide
Queensland Legal provides essential legal advice for business loan guarantors across Australia, ensuring they understand the obligations and risks associated with personal guarantees. Offering services for a fixed fee, we accommodate most banks and lenders, facilitating electronic signing and remote witnessing in line with modern legislation whenever we can.
When business’ obtain finance or lending a lender will often request or insist on the directors, shareholders or other person associated with the business provide a personal guarantee.
The business finance may be an overdraft facility, a loan for working capital, or a loan to help the business buy some plant and equipment.
A personal guarantee acts as security for the repayment of any business loan to the lender, in the event the business fails to pay.
If the lender requires it, you may have to obtain a personal guarantor certificate or a legal advice certificate to evidence that the guarantor has obtained independent legal advice about the risks and obligations associated with entering a deed of guarantee.
Queensland has now passed legislation that allows for Deeds to be signed electronically (and without a witness). Further, legislation was passed allowing a person to witness a signature remotely.
As such we offer this service to personal guarantors Queensland wide, and Australia wide!
We can accommodate most banks and lenders loan documentation in our fixed cost, see below for more details.
Legal advice for guarantors of business loans...
1. Get your Documents
The lender will send you a number of documents in the mail (or increasingly by email) addressed to you as the personal guarantor.
Once you have all those documents you need to read them yourself carefully.
Tip: Double check your documents to ensure the advice is a mandatory requirement. If not, getting the advice is your choice.
2. Contact Us
We will ask you to get a copy of all the documents to us so we can read over them before setting up an appointment to give you the advice you need.
That appointment normally takes around 30-45 minutes and must be attended by you only. The advice can be given in person, or video conference.
Tip: Come ready to ask all the questions you might have on the documents.
3. We provide your Certificate
After receiving our advice we’ll provide you with an independent solicitors advice certificate and you’ll be ready to provide that to the bank or other lender.
If you want to, and feel ready to, we will also witness you sign the personal guarantee document also.
Tip: Many lenders have now removed the need for the witnessing of a deed now.
