A secured business loan differs from other types of business loans as it is secured against assets, which are used as collateral against the amount borrowed.

The use of secured business finance can be a great option for companies looking to increase borrowing amounts.

It has many uses such as covering shortfalls in cash flow within a business or to increase spending amounts for new purchases.

The Benefits of Secured Business Loans

Flexible Terms and Borrowing Amounts

Secured business loans are available on terms ranging from 1 to 30 years.

As they are taken on an secured basis, borrowing amounts are restricted to the amount of equity in an asset or property being used as security.

Maximum borrowing amounts are also determined by affordability assessments and credit checks.

All proposals are subject to full underwriting & acceptance.

Increase Chances of Approval

Secured loans are a good option for businesses with poor credit or low profits, as securing loans on assets can improve acceptance rates due to lenders having a way to recoup any monies owed in the event of a default.

For businesses that are finding it difficult to raise the required amount on an unsecured basis, loans secured on assets can increase the maximum loan amount achievable due to the amount of equity available.

Release Equity

Loans on an secured basis use collateral as part of the credit agreement, meaning you are able to release equity held in your assets.

With most lenders releasing up to 85% of the total equity remaining, being able to access this cash can be a vital tool for many businesses.

Businesses can benefit from sourcing finance secured on personal and commercial property to offset low annual profits. Many organisations take advantage of finance and loans to allow them to cover shortfalls in funding, to improve efficiency or increase investment.

Many firms are taking longer to free up cash from things such as inventory and unpaid invoices, which in turn can impact on revenue. With a wide range of versatile funding solutions available, we can help source the most suitable funding to meet your needs.
