Personal Guarantee Insurance: How It Works | Jason Hunt Interview
The personal guarantee is one of the biggest deterrents to buying a business with an SBA loan. If the business fails, the bank can come after your personal assets. But a new product called personal guarantee insurance (PGI) aims to reduce that risk. Today’s guest, Jason Hunt, founded Ink, a PGI provider. After a career in restructuring and buying and selling a business himself, Jason decided against a second acquisition because of the personal guarantee risk. Listen as we break down how PGI works, what it costs and covers, how lenders view it, and how it applies to buyers, serial acquirers, and sellers rolling equity.Jason is also joining us for an Acquiring Minds webinar Tuesday, November 17, at noon Eastern.
