I thought the whole point of LLC was to limit liability so you wouldn't be liable for debt beyond your paid up capital? Why would you ever sign a personal guarantee?

So that they will lend you the money...

It's not always required, depends on the amount and the business.

The liability I’m shielded from is not debt I specifically requested. I’m shielded from unknown events.

banks are not stupid… you can’t just open LLC, borrow billion bucks, spend it and then be like “oops, LLC mates, not liable”
