Personal Guarantee agreements are commonly used in the Netherlands as security instruments in various commercial and financial transactions. These documents are particularly relevant when businesses or individuals seek credit facilities, loans, or enter into significant commercial contracts where additional security is required. A Personal Guarantee must comply with Dutch Civil Code requirements, particularly Articles 7:850-7:870 regarding suretyship (borgtocht). The document includes specific provisions detailing the guaranteed obligations, enforcement mechanisms, and where applicable, mandatory consumer protection provisions for non-professional guarantors. It's frequently used in business financing, real estate transactions, and commercial leases, providing creditors with additional security while ensuring compliance with Dutch legal requirements for guarantee agreements.
