What is an Unsecured Small Business Loan?

Answer:
An unsecured small business loan is a loan you
get to fund a portion of your business that does not require collateral.  Secured loans are those that take a home or an asset as collateral in case the loan is defaulted on where an unsecured asset does not require collateral.  There are pros and cons regarding unsecured business loans and I'll examine them in detail.

It sounds like a great deal, you get a loan to fund your business and they don't require any collateral.  Hold up, there are some factors that go into these business loans one should consider.

Unsecured small business loans are riskier for the lenders.  Because there isn't any collateral there a lender has no way to ensure the loan will be paid.  Essentially, an unsecured loan is a good faith loan where the lender gives you money in exchange for your word.  Because it is a riskier loan, the loan amounts are smaller and the interest rates are higher.

Funding a small business can be an expensive project so you may need more than what an unsecured small business loan can offer.  The largest unsecured small business loan offer we've seen is $100,000 but I would imagine the interest rate with this large of an unsecured small business loan would would be very high.

Because these loans are unsecured therefore without collateral the interest rates are higher than a standard secured loan.  The riskier the loan the higher the interest rates.

There are benefits of an unsecured business loan and there are reasons lenders offer this type of a loan. If you don't own any assets then it's difficulty to get funding for a business.  If you don't own a home your chances are landing a decent secured business loan is slim. The unsecured small business loan is built for those that don't have any assets.  Most small business owners just starting out don't have much and I've read plenty of stories where successful people have started mammoth businesses from their apartment.  So if your wanting to start a business and need capitol then the unsecured small business loan is a great option.
