What is a unsecured business loan?
This is a lending facility offered to a business, generally on a short term basis of up to seven years in length without the need for tangible security. The assessment to the suitability will generally be based on past trading experience and the value of the balance sheet upon application.
How much can we borrow?
Anything from £5,000 to £500,000.
What term can I take the loan over?
3 months to 72 months.
How do we repay the loan?
The value of repayments will be agreed at the outset. Once you accept the offer, a contract will be made available for you to sign. A direct debit will then be set up in order for the financier to recover the monthly repayments over the agreed period of time.
What Security will be required?
The lender would require a personal guarantee from all Directors. (An asset and liability statement must be completed by all directors to confirm there is sufficient value in the personal guarantees to support the loan).
