Unsecured and Secured Business Loans
Inject capital in a way to best suit your business.
As the names suggests you can have a ‘secured business loan’ or you can have an ‘unsecured business loan’.
A business loan is the most common form of finance for SMEs and is one of the first options considered by a business when they need to raise capital. The business borrows a set amount and repays both the capital and interest over a set period of time.
Secured business loan – Usually used where the borrowing amount is larger, needed over a longer term. The interest rate is often cheaper due to security being offered to the lender, however set up costs i.e. valuations and legal fees can bump up the initial cost.
Unsecured business loan – A misleading phrase as the loans are not unsecured. They do not require tangible security but will still need a personal guarantee and sometimes a company guarantee. These are often quick to implement due to the lack of legal work and valuation however the interest rate is reflective of this and is usually more expensive than a secured facility.
