Guarantee Agreement — Word & PDF Template

This guarantee agreement template lets a guarantor promise to meet another party’s obligations — such as a loan, lease or trade debt — if that party defaults. It covers the guaranteed obligations, a cap on liability, demand and payment, indemnity and the recommendation to take independent advice, giving lenders, landlords and businesses in England and Wales clear security.

Who is this template for?

It suits lenders and creditors taking a personal or corporate guarantee, landlords requiring a guarantor for a tenant, suppliers securing trade credit, and individuals or directors who are being asked to guarantee an obligation.

• Parties — identifies the guarantor and the beneficiary.
