The Personal Guarantee Promissory Note is a specialized financial instrument used in Switzerland when a party requires both a formal promise of payment and additional security through a personal guarantee. This document type is particularly useful in business transactions, loans, or financial arrangements where the creditor seeks additional assurance beyond the primary debtor's promise to pay. Governed by Swiss law, specifically the Swiss Code of Obligations, it must meet strict formal requirements for both promissory notes and personal guarantees. The document typically includes details of the primary debt obligation, payment terms, the scope of the guarantee, and enforcement provisions. It's commonly used in business financing, property transactions, and commercial arrangements where the creditor requires enhanced security for the debt obligation.
