Answer

Does a personal guarantee survive when I refinance a loan?

A guarantee is tied to the specific loan it secured, so repaying that loan on refinance should release it — but confirm the release and check the new lender’s terms. Refinancing to a no-PG loan removes the exposure for good.

What happens on refinance

Refinancing repays the old facility, which should discharge the guarantee that secured it. But do not assume — get written confirmation the guarantee is released, and read whether the new lender is asking for a fresh one. See how to refinance.

Escaping the guarantee

Refinancing into a no-personal-guarantee loan is a clean way to shed the exposure entirely — the old guarantee falls away and no new one replaces it. Compare the true cost of the new deal.
