As a form of financial support, the social services may provide a guarantee for loans.
If the client does not fulfil his loan responsibilities and the municipality has to honour its obligations, the social services may recover the amount due from the client through the courts.
The basic conditions for acquiring a loan guarantee are the same as for other financial support. A loan guarantee can be given to those unable to endure their subsistence or who need this due to a difficult life situation. In addition, it must be clear that the applicant will be able to pay back the loan.
