Understanding Your Business Finance Options
Every business has different funding requirements. Below we've outlined the main types of finance we can help with, including how they can be used and some key considerations to bear in mind.
Not sure which option is right for your business? That's where we can help.
Unsecured Business Loans
What are they?
Funding that doesn't require a specific business asset or property to be offered as security.
How can they be used?
- Working capital
- Expansion
- Unexpected costs
- Stock purchases
- Business investment
Things to consider
Unsecured lending can be more expensive than secured finance, and lenders may still require personal guarantees or other forms of security.
The amount available and repayment terms will depend on the business, its financial position and the lender's criteria.
