Construction subcontractors who sign personal guarantees or deeds risk losing their home and personal assets if a project fails. Read every agreement carefully and refuse to guarantee anything with your own money.

A lot of subcontractors sign guarantees, personal guarantees, or D&I, end up saying the same thing, and they don't realize they're actually putting their family assets on the line. They're like their own personal assets. You've got to read these things very, very carefully and don't just assume that there's just standard things that you have to sign. Signing a director's guarantee or a personal guarantee is something you should never do as a construction subcontractor. Construction is very risky business, and you should never be putting your own house on the line.
