http://ift.tt/eA8V8J By Emeka Anaeto LAST week we dwelt on the use of insurance policy as security for loan. Towards the end of this long stretched discus on preparing security for bank loan we shall outline all the forms of security/ collateral in one list. Today we discuss the place of Guarantees in getting a bank loan.

He even managed to put her in the family way before returning to his base. Oh! Did I also mention that she read the “right” course in school? Yes! Yes! You guessed right…NURSING.Well, it’s been four years since he hung a tag of ownership on her neck and the talk is not that of her, and their daughter, joining him again. The talk, sadly, is a dissolution of a four-year-old marriage …in which he has only been home once to consummate. ...
