What is a third-party guarantor?

A third-party guarantor is a person or entity that stands behind a contract and agrees to fulfill any of the obligations that the primary parties to the contract are unable to fulfill. In Nebraska, a third-party guarantor can be used in lieu of or in addition to a personal guarantee. A third-party guarantor can often be a business, insurance company, or other financial institution that issues a guarantee or provides collateral to back up a contract. The third-party guarantor generally has a vested interest in making sure that the primary parties to the contract abide by the provisions of the contract. If the primary parties fail to fulfill their obligations under the contract, the third-party guarantor will step in and honor the obligations of the contract on their behalf. This provides additional protection for all parties involved. Additionally, a third-party guarantor is often used in contracts for bigger sums of money or longer periods of time. This is because the third-party guarantor helps to reduce the financial risk for all involved. The third-party guarantor is not necessarily obligated to pay out the amount of the contract, but instead helps to ensure that the primary parties to the contract can fulfill their obligations without having to take on the full financial burden.
