What is an unsecured business loan?
It is a business loan that you don’t need to secure against any assets. Many business loans need to be secured against your premises, equipment or home.
This makes things difficult for people with no assets to use as security, for example, if you aren’t a homeowner. Our loans are unsecured, which means they’re available to far more people.
What can I use my business growth loan for?
(Almost) whatever you need to support your immediate needs or long-term plans. So long as you have a firm plan for how you’ll use the money, we’ll consider your application.
From expanding your services and getting bigger premises, to taking on staff or making a splash with marketing, we’ve got your back.

We work with a range of lenders who offer different rates based on your company circumstances. Typically rates will be 5-17% per year, but you should review your loan offers carefully to understand your personalised interest rate.
Our loan terms are between one and five years.
The loan will usually be paid in to a business bank account in the name of the applying company.

There are three Credit Reference Agencies in the UK:
It’s important to remember that Credit Reference Agencies don’t always hold the same information, so you may wish to consult more than one company if you have any concerns about the contents of your personal Credit Report. There are many credit report/score providers who can provide this same information to you, some at no charge.
If your application was declined because of issues with your business performance, we will provide you with some feedback on request. We aren't able to give any feedback on credit related issues, and would always recommend that you access your credit report yourself.
Your product provider will contact you to discuss any issues.
This varies, depending on the lender and the product, as some applications are more complex than others. We won't be able to process your application fully until we receive all of the documentation we need back from you, so we'll keep pace with how quickly you're able to go. If you have a specific date in mind, please discuss this with your business adviser at your first opportunity.
Yes, you need a business bank account. We will normally need you to provide the last three months of business bank statements as part of your application.
We have a variety of templates depending on your specific circumstances. Speak to your business adviser for the best ones.
If you've already been assigned to a business adviser, contact them directly for an update. If you haven't, you can contact us for help.
Your initial application will allow us to find you the right loan, where we'll work with you on a full application. Once assessed and approved, the funds will be paid directly to you. The loan is then repayable on a monthly basis for the entire term.
These are business loans, to be used for business purposes.
