Unsecured small business loans are a perfect form of financing for small business owners, with limited assets, and therefore an inability to put up collateral for a traditional loan. They can provide immediate funding, have a relatively low threshold for qualification, and can be structured for an amount and repayment period that makes the most sense for your business needs.

Crucially, because they are unsecured, and typically have a low minimum credit score requirement, they can be one of the best and most accessible forms of funding for those with bad credit.

Unsecured small business loans with bad credit can have the additional benefit of helping to drastically improve a business’ credit score over the long-term, increasing access to capital or improving interest rates for future loan activities.

Unsecured small business loans are a form of business loan, that may be short or medium term, and provides up-front lump-sum funds to businesses for them to use as they see fit. Crucially, the “unsecured” portion of the name defines that the loan does not have any collateral requirements.

This can be advantageous for new or smaller businesses that don’t have considerable assets to put up for a loan, or who do not wish to risk those assets in exchange for business funding.

The downside is this means borrowers typically pay a higher interest rate than on a collateralized or secured loan (though it is still relatively low compared to other forms of business credit available, especially for those who have a poor credit score or limited credit history).

The requirements for an unsecured small business loan are fairly generous, stipulating a relatively low time in business, fairly low minimum credit score, and fairly modest minimum monthly revenues.

If you don’t have assets, or don’t wish to risk assets, to obtain funding from a traditional business loan, or your credit score or credit history are too limited to qualify, then an unsecured small business loan may be a perfect choice to help finance and grow your business.

Ultimately, like all financial decisions, you’ll have to weigh the pros and cons, and look at your options, to determine if an unsecured small business loan is the best choice for you and your unique situation.

A critical question for all business-oriented customers is, “What will this cost me?” and it’s no different with an unsecured business loan. The exact cost will vary depending on factors such as your time in business, credit score, revenue, how much you borrow, and over what term you agree to repayment.

Put in broad terms, however, these loans tend to cost more than a traditional (collateralized/secured) business loan, but less than loans targeted to the extreme low end of credit scores.

An average interest rate in the range of 20-30% is not unusual, meaning that for every $100,000 borrowed, you will typically have to pay around $25,000 in interest charges. Perhaps far more important than the basic cost is to ask what other options you have in terms of business financing.

Often, an unsecured business loan may be the most financially viable option to fund your operations, expenses, and projects, to receive funding now without putting up homes, property, equipment, and other assets for collateral.

• Estimated Business Loan Term: 2 – 36 Months
• Your business must have been in operation for at least 6 months as of the time of your application
• You must have a minimum credit score of at least 500
• You must have a minimum monthly revenue of $10,000 or more (income thresholds may be higher for larger loans, corresponding to the size and term of the loan)
• Loan Rates: 9% – 45%*
• Min Business Loan Amount: $5,000
• Max Business Loan Amount: $1,000,000
• Max Number of Negative Days: 4 Within a Month

• Rates depend on duration of funding

Unsecured business loans, like most of the loan products we offer, can be used as you see fit, to pay for business projects and activities that you deem necessary, without restrictions.

However, given the nature and interest rates of the loans, some financing activities comprise more common uses for unsecured small business loans than others.

• Managing business seasonality, and allowing the purchasing or funding of products and services through leaner income times, in support of high-sales or high-service (and correspondingly high-revenue-generating) periods of operation
• Paying for legal expenses or other atypical, non-cyclical or linear operational expenses, such as bursts of R&D, marketing, strategic partnerships, and other activities
• Increasing capital leverage and borrowing power to fund ongoing business needs and more strategically invest in people, property, equipment, and inventory
• Investing in emerging technologies or providing early seed money for strategic or tactical investments to grow your business

For many businesses, unsecured small business loans can be an ideal form of funding. This is especially true when limited credit history or poor credit scores exist – unsecured small business loans with bad credit can often be the only kind of capital or financing available.

The requirements are relatively low, and no collateral is required, which makes these loans extremely valuable for many small businesses, who may not have (or wish to risk) assets as collateral for a loan.

• No collateral requirement
• Reasonable interest rates for an unsecured loan
• Variable loan amounts and repayment terms
• Low minimum requirements for qualification
