Common questions

What counts as a personal guarantee?

Any business loan, lease or facility where a director or owner has signed personal surety, making them personally liable if the business can't pay.

Does cover reduce automatically as I repay the loan?

No, cover amounts should be reviewed and adjusted manually as the guaranteed balance reduces, to avoid over-insuring.

Can this cover more than one guaranteed facility?

Yes, cover can be structured across multiple guaranteed loans or facilities, each valued separately.

Personally guaranteed a business loan?

An adviser at Mzansi Advisors can review your guaranteed exposure and recommend the right cover — at no extra cost.
