Borrow capital without any collateral/guarantee.
Simple, fast and low-cost loans for SMEs looking to finance their businesses without putting their assets at risk. Opt for greater flexibility and small fixed monthly repayment options under Unsecured Business Finance.
What is Unsecured Business Finance?
Unsecured loans allow small and medium-sized businesses to borrow capital up to £250,000 from lenders in the absence of any formality to offer security such as home or any assets to them. They are a great finance tool for those with few or no assets, for those who are reluctant to put their assets on line and lastly, for those businesses that just need fast cash flow to grow quickly.
Put it simply, unsecured loans are among the most sought after financial options as they free the borrower from risking their assets. Secured loans on the other hand, necessarily require assets as collateral to grant funds. The former loan option proves to be the more accessible option for businesses.
Unsecured business loans empower ambitious businesses to reach their goals and values without having to compromise on security. They allow businesses to effectively manage their cash flow, invest at the right places, refurbish/renovate premises, buy newer equipment and machineries and handle any case of uncertainty such as COVID-19 pandemic.
If you are a business who rightly requires some cash flow to boost their operations or any other legitimate business purposes and want to acquire a loan by opting out of the collateral/security criteria, Unsecured Business Finance just might be the perfect financial solution for you.
