Please Help--Personal Guaranty for Business Loan


Recommended Posts

I am part owner of a business that is looking at leasing some equiptment. all the leasing companies are requesting a personal guaranty because we are small and relatively new.

Does signing a personal guarantee for a business loan or lease effect my personal credit? Will it show up as credit extended on my personal credit report?

thank you,

Corky

From my experience of doing exactly the same thing, it never showed up on my personal report.

I would think the only time it would might be if the business didn't pay for it, and you didn't personally either.

It should not be reported on the personal credit report; but I can't say that it won't happen. Have seen it before; but just keep an eye out should they report on the consumer side. Would sure enough be disputing with them to fix the matter.

Would ask the company; are they going to pull your personal credit report to determine approval? This will add inquiry on your credit report, affecting your credit score.

And if they report; tell them ahead of time that they be mindful not to report under your name.

Keep an eye on the billing; and make sure not to be late on the off chance they would collect from you. Should it go to collection they will surely report on the business side & your personal credit report side.
