A GUARANTOR’S HEADACHE

Shah Alam High Court

Being a guarantor, especially to help out a friend in need or family member to kick start a business or someone you love to purchase a dream home. But one need to very prepare for the ultimate HEADACHE ….. you; the guarantor need to repay the loan yourself.
 
What happened to Director being the guarantor for corporate loan ?  5 quick check point before you sign on the doted line.

1.     Is the person who run the company smart, intelligent, trustworthy and fair ?
2.     Is the loan obtain beneficial for the company growth ?
3.     Can the company be able to repay the loan comfortably in the next 5 years.
4.     Is the company performance moving uptrend with secure contract ?
5.     How can the guarantor exit from the guarantee.
  
Resignation as a Director of a company does not necessarily ceased to be the guarantor's of past signed “Letter of Guarantee”. If you are not careful, one will be a subjected to feeling of betray as well as losing one own asset or hard earn money.

Today my case here have to bear and grit his teeth for being ignorance and trusting on friend.
