LLC member personally guaranteeing a loan

I kind of touched on this in another thread about another topic, but it didn't get answered along w/ the rest of my questions, so I decided to start a more specific thread. Hope that's OK!...



I'm opening a bar with my partner, as an LLC. For a portion of our startup costs we need to take out a loan. I'm not worried about paying off this specific loan, but I will have to personally guarantee it using my house as collateral. I've been told that personally guaranteeing a loan makes a member of an LLC easier to sue personally. My question is, does that mean it will only be easier for the bank I took out a loan from to sue me personally? Or if someone else sues the LLC some time in the future, will my personal guarantee of this loan basically ruin my limited liability? Will someone suing the LLC be able to see that I personally guaranteed a loan at some point, and get the house I put up as collateral for that loan? What about after the loan is paid off?



Basically, have I completely screwed myself over by guaranteeing a loan for the LLC? And if this is true, how the heck do LLC startups get extra funding?



Another question: what if we personally sign our commercial lease? Is that something we should, or even can, sign as an LLC?



Thanks for any help, I hope I'm misunderstanding this. I will of course have good liability insurance, but I'm really afraid of losing my family home so I want to know what I'm up against.

Staffing Agency and HR?

Hi, I don't know if some of you guys remember me but several months ago I asked about the staffing agency start ups.



I just accepted a job as an HR Coordinator and consists mostly me taking in resumes, screening, interviewing, etc. I really like the job and I'm happy because it was so hard to break into the HR field. Although I like my job and the company, I can't help but still think about how nice it would be to own my own business ONE day.. maybe when I turn 30 and start taking real action.



Do you guys think that building that HR experience would be valuable towards this goal one day?



One thing I can't help but wonder is why do companies pay agencies to search for employees when they can do it themselves? Is it that cheaper?

Hello from Ohio!

Hello! I joined the forums to learn more about business. I'd also like to network-as I come from a small town-with other entrepreneurs. Have you guys networked pretty well on here? :D

Greetings from sunny Florida

Hello all.



I am a small business owner <shock> - and am transitioning out of working for other people. Basically, transitioning to full-time business owner. My background is in analytics and process redesign. I have been working as a consultant helping small business (and large companies) redesign their processes for quite some time.



As part of my transition, I wrote a book outlining hurdles that many small business owners face -- along with the best ways to overcome them. The book isn't on Amazon yet, but will be soon. You can find a little more of my journey here Hello world! | Small Business Tips by Rick Grantham . Moderators, please forgive me if links are frowned upon -- I am new here :)



I am hoping to share war stories here in the forum and mingle with like minded people who share a similar journey.

Hello from Florida

Hey folks,



I'm Jason and I own TMS Florida with my wife Kathy.

We provide a unique social marketing tool and also merchant account services

for small and medium sized companies.



I ran across this forum while looking for "nightmare stories" (bad experiences)

that people have had with merchant service providers. I started with the idea

of compiling some true life stories showing what can happen to businesses, and

how owners can prevent falling into those traps.



I thought it would take some digging. Boy was I wrong! I found hundreds of

stories in just a few quick searches. It's just proof that I need to keep getting our

name out there as wide and fast as possible. There are many good merchant

account providers out there, but there are also some snakes in this unregulated

industry.



Kathy and I have been in this business since 1998, and are proud of the company

we have built.



If anyone has any questions regarding their payment services, feel free to ask me

in this open forum or by email.



I'm looking forward to learning alot, and I'll contribute what I can, when I can.



Thanks!



JasonG
