b. a promise, the leading object of which is to obtain an economic benefit for oneself.
Securing the performance of a third party, the principal debtor, for the benefit of the creditor constitutes suretyship. Consider a loan that is given to A with partner B serving as a guarantor to ensure repayment. The surety may be used by the creditor if the debtor disregards his payment responsibilities after receiving notice of default. As a result, the surety bears no financial risk in his relationship with the major debtor and just offers (extra) security to the creditor. The Dutch Civil Code's Book 7 contains provisions relating to suretyship. Both "borscht" and "borgstelling" are terms for suretyship in the Dutch language.
