Unsecured Loans – Bad Credit

Unsecured loans are often sought where an asset or goods are not available to offer as security against the loan and usually for purposes where a tangible asset is not being acquired. For example, to cover a cash flow shortfall or as capital.

As there is no security offered against the loan, it is considered a higher risk loan and will attract a higher interest rate than a secured loan. In addition, not all banks and lenders are prepared to offer unsecured loans. On that basis, it is quite a specialist area of lending and each application would require individual assessment and evaluation.

If the business has bad credit issues, that further complicates the unsecured loan scenario. Bad credit loans are also considered a high risk loan category and many lenders are not actively involved in extending bad credit business loans.

If you have bad credit issues, engaging the services of a broker to source you an unsecured loan may be of significant benefit. A professional broker will know exactly which lenders will be more open to considering your application and the broker can assist you in preparing your application to specifically meet the requirements of those lenders.

In addition, the broker should have honed negotiating skills to bargain with the lender to achieve the best outcome for you.
