Secured and Unsecured Business Loans
What is an Secured Business Loan?
A secured business loan is generally secured against a high-value asset such as a commercial property, a residential, investment property/properties . Other forms of personal or business collateral such as equipment, machinery, vehicles and other inventory can be used. A secured business loan is similar to applying for a mortgage and can involve a valuation process. We also have serval options for secured lending, loan sizes start from as little as £25,000 and up the £10 million +
Businesses operating in asset-heavy industries with a demonstrable trading history might be more inclined to get a secured business loan. Sometimes this type of loan is referred to as asset backed lending. Secured lending lending requires a business owner to provide assets such as property, plant, machinery as security. With investments the business offers, the risk to the lender is significantly reduced, which means lower interest rates and better repayment terms. Borrowers, as a result, are in a better position to repay the loan over the long term. Business owners who decide to go for a secured loan will usually not need to provide a personal guarantees.
How do Secured Loans work:
Secured loans for businesses work in a similar way to personal loans, such as mortgages. Borrowers will be charged a pre-agreed amount of interest by the lender and will then be required to repay it – typically on a monthly basis for the term or life of the loan until the debt is repaid. The interest rate on a secured loan tends to be lower than for a personal or unsecured loan, which is considered to be riskier. It is also important to note that the advertised rate isn’t necessarily the one you’ll receive, as the rate you’re offered may depend on how much you want to borrow, in addition to how long for, and the value of the collateral you put forward.

With unsecured business funding personal guarantee may also be required by the lender, the reason for this is because it could enable you to secure higher levels of funding. If your situation changes and your business is unable to repay the loan, the personal guarantor may be required to pay back the remaining balance under the agreed terms.
