Secured business loans are a loan in which the borrower pledges some asset (e.g. a car or property) as collateral for the loan, which then becomes a secured debt owed to the creditor who gives the loan.
The debt is thus secured against the collateral — in the event that the borrower defaults, the creditor takes possession of the asset used as collateral and may sell it to regain some or all of the amount originally loaned to the borrower, for example, foreclosure of a home.
Secured business loans are available for any purpose and any amount up to £1,000,000. These secured business loans need to be secured against a property that you own or you have a proportion of equity in.
Secured business loans generally have lower interest rates than unsecured business loans whatever your industry. Secured business loans also come with the flexibility of a longer repayment period of up to ten years.
Before applying for a secured business loan, please ensure that you meet the following eligibility criteria:
Generally speaking, secured debt may attract lower interest rates than unsecured debt due to the added security for the lender; however, credit history, ability to repay, and expected returns for the lender are also factors affecting rates.
