The Guarantor Promissory Note is widely used in Nigerian commercial and financial transactions where additional security is required beyond a standard promissory note. This document type is particularly valuable when creditors seek extra assurance for debt repayment through a third-party guarantee. Compliant with Nigerian law, particularly the Bills of Exchange Act and Stamp Duties Act, the document incorporates both the primary debt obligation and the guarantor's commitment. It's commonly used in business loans, personal lending, real estate transactions, and commercial credit arrangements. The document typically includes specific payment terms, interest rates, default provisions, and the guarantor's obligations, making it a comprehensive security instrument that protects the creditor's interests while clearly defining all parties' responsibilities.
