A promise making you personally liable for a debt or lease.
A personal guarantee makes you individually responsible if a business or tenant can’t pay — putting your personal assets at risk, not just the company’s. On commercial leases especially, this is where the real exposure lives. A “good-guy” guarantee can limit liability to the period until you properly vacate.
Signing a lease “as guarantor” means the landlord can pursue your savings if the business defaults.
