A guarantee only relates to the debt secured, not the full debts of the company, so there is a benefit there. Ane look it from the view of the bank (I presume): Would you expect them to lend to someone without taking the necessary steps to ensure that they'd be repaid?

Then how does it become a benefit to be LTD then if you are the guaruntee for it ?...i thought that if you were ltd and it all went wrong the ltd co would absorb the debt and close down....Simple view i know but that is why i'm investigating and can't see anything clear on the net YET !

Originally posted by Gonzo View PostThe whole idea of a Limited Company is that the liabilities are limited - the most the shareholders will lose is the capital that they have invested.

Personal bunkruptcy puts all the person's assets including their house at risk of being confiscated to settle the debts.
Obviously for the individual, the LTD route is better in the event of failure. In fact, it is better all round unless turnover is so small that the accountancy fees could not comfortably be absorbed.
