Why Director's Guarantee Reviews Matter in Melbourne
Melbourne's commercial lending and leasing market is one of the most active in Australia, and directors' guarantees are a standard condition for everything from business loans and fitout finance to commercial leases across the CBD, Southbank, and suburban strips. Landlords, banks, and franchisors operating in Melbourne routinely present guarantees with broad "all moneys" language and few natural release points, meaning your liability can outlast the original contract by years. Understanding the specific terms before you sign — rather than after a default — is where careful review earns its keep.
What We Check in Every Director's Guarantee
- Whether liability is capped at a fixed dollar amount or left unlimited
- "All moneys" language that extends beyond the core contract debt
- Continuing obligations that survive the main agreement's termination
- Waiver of subrogation rights and what that means for your exposure
- Whether a spouse or co-owner consent clause is buried in the schedule
- Release mechanism — conditions, timing, and who triggers it
- Independent legal advice certificate requirement and its implications
- Cross-default provisions linking the guarantee to other agreements
- Demand and notice requirements before the lender can call on you
- Indemnity clauses that go wider than the guarantee's stated purpose

Are there Victorian-specific risks in a directors' guarantee I should know about?
