Who should I put as my guarantor?
A guarantor can be almost anyone. It’s usually a parent or spouse (assuming you have separate bank accounts), but it can also be a friend or relative.

You must be over 21 years old, have a strong credit history, and financial stability to be a guarantor. If you own a home, this will give your application more legitimacy.
You should be aware of the financial hazards if you are considering asking someone to be a guarantor or if you have been approached by a family member or friend in need. If the borrower fails to return the loan, you will be held legally liable for the debt. Aside from the financial strain, these situations can occasionally lead to the dissolution of friendships or family feuds. Both the borrower and the guarantor should consider if they are able to keep up with the payments.
