Corporate Guarantee

No corporation has power by any form of contract or endorsement to become a guarantor, or otherwise lend its credit to another person or corporation. If a person wishes to receive or take a guarantee from a corporation, the only safe way is to get written proof of a corporate resolution authorizing the guarantee. Otherwise, the guarantee may be null and void.

If a person is intends to rely significantly on a corporate guarantee, they should investigate the reason why the corporation is providing the guarantee.
