Unsecured Business Loan

Overview

Unsecured business loans let you borrow money without offering collateral like property or equipment. Approval is based on your credit score and financial health, making them faster and more flexible than secured loans. These loans are typically short-term (3 months to 5 years) and are ideal for covering cash flow, paying wages, or funding opportunities.

While they don’t require assets as security, unsecured loans often have higher interest rates and smaller borrowing limits because they carry more risk for lenders. If your business defaults, the lender will not normally have direct recourse against your property (like they would with a home loan), but you may still be personally liable if you've signed a director's guarantee.

Unsecured loans are a great option for short-term needs, offering quick funding without risking your business assets.
