The business is a specialist security services company that specialise in the design, supply, installation and support of CCTV, access and security systems. The Director was introduced Purbeck by a registered finance broker to look at personal guarantee insurance connected to an invoice finance line.
The Director was using the invoice finance line to leverage cash against the existing company debtor book he was acquiring to complete the management buy-out. Although the Director had bought companies previously using the same method, he had never been asked to sign a Personal Guarantee in connection with a facility in the past and was reluctant to risk his personal assets to support getting the deal over the line.
We worked closely with the Director to ensure that a quotation was in place ahead of completion allowing the Director to focus on the mechanics of getting the deal over the line whilst providing valued peace of mind.

-
It is common for Personal Guarantees to be required as part of invoice finance funding arrangements.
-
Despite best intentions, things do not always go to plan when acquiring a business, no matter how good it looks on paper, so it makes sense to consider Personal Guarantee Insurance cover for any Personal Guarantees attached to debt finance to protect against the unexpected.
