ASIC provides customer-friendly guidance on guarantor and co-borrower arrangements

Helpfully, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has published a guide, which clearly explains what these terms mean while providing some handy Q&As for clients, which you can use to assist your clients.
