Business Loans: Secured or Unsecured?

Business loans are offered in both secured and unsecured variations.

Secured loans are backed by an asset that the lender can claim if repayments falter.

Adept, however, generally arranges unsecured loans. These do not tie to a specific asset, offering greater flexibility, but they often necessitate a personal guarantee from the borrower.

What is an unsecured business loan?

Unsecured business loans are a type of financing where no collateral is required to secure the loan.

This means the borrower does not have to pledge assets like property or equipment as security.

These loans are typically based on the creditworthiness of the business and its owner. 

Unsecured loans are an ideal solution for businesses that may not have significant assets but need funds for expansion, cash flow management, or other operational expenses.

What are the Benefits of Unsecured Business Loans?

What Our Clients Say

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a business loan?

In simple terms, a business loan is money borrowed by business owners to cover various expenses. As a borrower, you have the flexibility to decide how much you need to borrow, over what period, and for what specific business purposes.

Once your application is in process, lenders will assess it to decide if they are willing to provide all or part of the funds you require, and at what rate of interest. Understanding that every business has unique needs, we take an active role in comparing different loan packages and lenders.

This approach is instrumental in helping us understand and present the best options available to your business, ensuring that you get a loan that aligns with your financial goals and operational needs.

How do business loans work?

Business loans serve as a financial tool for sustaining or expanding your enterprise.

Essentially, they allow you to borrow funds for various business needs. You can repay these loans in regular monthly payments, which include interest. The duration over which you repay the loan is known as the term. Utilising business loans is a standard practice for managing fluctuations in company cash flow.

Additionally, they provide vital support for investment and seizing growth opportunities that might be unattainable due to limited working capital or the hesitance to allocate substantial cash reserves.

How do I qualify?

Qualification criteria include your business credit score, annual revenue, time in business, and a solid business plan. Some loans require collateral as well.

How much can I borrow?

Loan amounts vary, from a few thousand pounds to millions, based on the lender and your business’s financial health.

What sort of interest rates can I expect?

Interest rates differ greatly, influenced by the loan type, lender, your creditworthiness, and market conditions.

Are there government backed business loans in the UK?

The UK offers government-backed loans and schemes, with resources available through organizations like UK Finance.

What happens if I can't repay?

Failing to repay can result in legal actions or seizure of collateral. Communicating with the lender for a revised plan is key.

Can I pay off my loan early?

Many lenders allow this, but some might charge a prepayment penalty. Check your loan agreement first.

Can I get a loan with bad credit?

It’s possible, though challenging. Some lenders cater to businesses with lower credit scores at higher interest rates.

What documents are needed to apply?

Required documents often include bank statements and personal identification.
