About this document

This professionally drawn agreement provides for one or more companies to guarantee the obligations of one or more other companies even if they are not members of the same group.

Applicable to any situation, even if one or more of the companies is abroad.

This deed of inter-company cross guarantee may be signed as a deed, or as a simple agreement under hand, as the notes explain.
