Norwegian term or phrase: stille seg som
I dette tilfelle dreier det seg om at et firma stiller seg som selvskyldnerkausjonist (som i seg selv er et vanskelig begrep å oversette), men det er mer det å stille seg som.

stille seg som selvskyldnerkausjonist
(CanE/BrE) stand personal surety


Explanation:
The 'selvskyldnerkausjonist ' needs to be added as part of the question as, otherwise, the emphasis changes.

I agree that 'act as personal guarantor etc.' also works idiomatically, whilst stand (civil or criminal) surety or (criminal) bail is the legalistic turn right for the tax context in most EN-speaking countries, from Canada to Fiji.




Example sentence(s):
  • 4. One who has contracted to be responsible for another, especially one who assumes responsibilities or debts in the event of default. www.thefreedictionary.com/stands+surety ‎
