Question from doneritehomesNov-4
If i filed bankruptcy on my small business how will the personal guarantees i signed for a company loan affect me? Will the lenders be able to put a judgment on my home that is paid for?

"If i filed bankruptcy on my small business how will the personal guarantees i signed for a company loan affect me?"

If the primary debtor goes bankrupt, the lender(s) presumably will look to you, as guarantor, for payment.

"Will the lenders be able to put a judgment on my home that is paid for?"

If you put your business into bankruptcy and then fail to honor the terms of your personal guarantee, then it's probably a pretty safe bet that the lender(s) will sue you.  Assuming a judgment (or judgments) result, your home may be at risk, but that depends on the laws of your unidentified state.

In that case, your home is safe (that's why OJ Simpson lives in FL).
