Overview
Protecting Your Financial Interests
Banks and lenders often require borrowers and guarantors to obtain independent legal advice before entering into loan transactions. This protects both the lender and the individual by ensuring that all parties fully understand the legal and financial implications of the agreement. At QLD Business + Property Lawyers (QBPL), we specialize in providing Independent Loan Advice, ensuring that you fully understand the obligations and risks associated with your loan or guarantee.
Why is Independent Loan Advice essential?

It ensures that you are fully aware of the terms and conditions of the loan, the potential risks involved, and the consequences of default. By obtaining independent legal advice, you can make informed decisions and safeguard your financial well-being.

While lender requirements vary, independent legal advice is often required for:
- Guarantors: Individuals or companies providing personal or company guarantees for loans.
- Directors: Company directors offering guarantees on behalf of the company.
