What is an Unsecured Business Loan?

An unsecured business loan is one that is not backed by security you provide against the loan.

The advantage is that you do not risk losing an asset should you default on the loan, however this means that the lender takes on more risk, which normally results in your loan terms including higher interest rates and a shorter repayment time frame than a secured loan.

Eligibility for an Unsecured Business Loan

To be eligible for an Unsecured Business Loan, you generally need to:

  • Have an active ABN
  • Have been trading for more than 6 months
  • Have an average monthly income over $5k

Book a meeting with our expert team to talk through your requirements and timeframes, and we can work out whether a secured or unsecured business loan is the best option for you.

What about starting a new business?

If you’re starting a new business and don’t meet some of the requirements above, or have bad credit, we might still be able to help. There are lenders in our marketplace that offer Unsecured Business Loans without the need for a trading history or revenue, provided you are contributing a significant portion of the funding to start the business yourself..

Avoid these mistakes if you want the best Unsecured business loan

Some business owners aren’t aware that interacting directly with lenders could harm their chances of getting a business loan.

Here are some common mistakes to avoid:

  • Being unprepared – no business plan or cash flow
  • Applying with multiple lenders directly
  • Allowing multiple credit checks in a short period of time
  • Not being honest or omitting important information
  • Asking for more than is serviceable.

Making these mistakes could mean you aren’t able to get a business loan at all, or only one with poor rates and terms. This is why it’s so beneficial to work with us. We partner with you and help you avoid these mistakes so you get the best outcomes possible.
