Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

If I sent an email to a vendor saying I personally guarantee that I will pay the Sept/Oct invoices if the LLC I have invested in does not pay the bills, is that legally binding in NJ? If I say to a vendor that I am sure the LLC will pay its invoices and then doesn't (and I have no control over the LLC' finances), can I then be liable to pay the vendor's bills?

In New Jersey a guarantee of the debt of another must be in writing. If you actually sent the email and it contains guarantee language, you could be liable.

Get a good business attorney to review the situation and the specific wording of the email.

I hope this helps!
