Personal Guarantee Insurance

Protect your personal assets when you sign a business loan

Personal Guarantee Insurance converts open-ended personal exposure into a defined, insurable cost. Access growth capital without putting your home and savings at risk.

Licensed in the US. Carrier-backed coverage.

Personal guarantees quietly put your family's financial security on the line

When you sign an SBA loan, acquisition financing, or commercial lease, lenders typically require a personal guarantee. It's presented as standard paperwork. But that signature makes you personally liable for the full loan amount—meaning if the business can't pay, the lender can pursue your home, savings, and future income.

Most business owners only realize the weight of this exposure after they've already signed. The upside belongs to the business. The downside lands on you personally.

PGI separates business risk from personal wealth

Personal Guarantee Insurance (PGI) protects business owners who are required to sign personal guarantees on business loans. If your business defaults and the lender enforces the guarantee, PGI covers a substantial portion of your personal obligation—typically 80% of the guaranteed amount.

You still sign the guarantee. The deal still closes. But now, one bad outcome doesn't erase a lifetime of work. PGI converts unknown personal exposure into a known, manageable cost—so you can pursue growth without betting your family's financial security.

Premium varies based on the guarantee amount, loan type, your business's financial health, and your personal credit profile. Premiums typically range from 2.5% to 3.0% of the coverage amount annually. The cost is a known, defined expense—compared to the unknown, potentially catastrophic cost of an enforced personal guarantee.
