Secured vs unsecured (guide)

What an unsecured business loan is

An unsecured business loan is term funding a company repays over an agreed period, without pledging specific assets as security. Because the lender takes on more risk, the amount available and the pricing reflect your company's financial strength.

Who it suits

Unsecured lending can suit companies that don't want to — or can't — offer asset security, and that value speed and simplicity. Lenders typically look at turnover, trading history and affordability rather than collateral.

What to weigh up

Unsecured facilities are often faster and don't put assets on the line, but amounts may be lower and pricing higher than a comparable secured loan. A personal guarantee from a director is sometimes requested. Our guide compares secured and unsecured routes.

  • Whether a personal guarantee is offered.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to secure the loan against assets?

No — that's the point of an unsecured loan. A lender may, however, ask a company director for a personal guarantee. Terms are subject to status and lender criteria.

How much can I borrow unsecured?

It depends on the lender, your turnover and trading history. Unsecured amounts are typically lower than secured lending. We compare a panel to find options that fit.

Is it faster than a secured loan?

Often, yes, because there's no asset valuation, but timescales vary by lender. We avoid quoting guaranteed timings.

Who can apply?

Unsecured business loans through Muve are for UK incorporated businesses — limited companies, PLCs and LLPs.
