The lender of the line of credit is most likely going to require you each to sign as a guarantor of the line of credit. A guarantor is ultimately liable if the company fails to pay. the bank can go after one guarantor or all of them. I suggest each of the partners signs as a guaratee on the loan so that all of you are equally liable to the bank. that way, if one walks away, that person is still on the hook.
