Unsecured Loans

Unsecured loans are not collateralized by an underlying asset.  Given they are more risky, they typically have a higher interest rate. Most major business purchases are financed using secured loans; these loans require collateral and are designed to provide long-term solutions for business needs. Unsecured loans require no collateral and are designed to provide funds for a wide range of business purposes, including working capital, cash flow management, acquisition of equipment, repairs and renovations and virtually any other business-related financial need. In order to qualify for an unsecured loan, businesses typically must demonstrate a good credit rating over the course of a number of years. For any loan, unsecured or secured, lenders look at a number of relevant factors to determine the risk involved in the financial transaction. Documentation typically includes the last three years of financial records and a detailed description of the business plan. In most cases, the higher interest rates charged for unsecured business loans are necessary due to the higher risk assumed by the lender.
