Personal Guarantee Insurance? (PGI) from Asterisk, an admitted product in 38 states and the District of Columbia, is the first-ever insurance protecting small-to-medium-size business owners, their partners and investors against the loss of personal assets as a result of signing a personal guarantee. This signature ? often required as part of the commercial loan approval process ? means the loan guarantor agrees to make available personal assets (homes, bank accounts, etc.) should business assets be insufficient for covering the debt obligation in a default.
?Given the risk involved in signing a personal guarantee for entrepreneurs in the restaurant business and other franchise markets, PGI is a powerful tool for helping them to mitigate that risk and gain peace of mind,? said Mark L. Ricciardelli, CEO of Asterisk Financial. ?Anand has an impressive track record of success in the restaurant and commercial real estate markets in the Southwest, and his insights and business acumen will be welcome assets as we look to grow Asterisk and PGI throughout the United States.?
