The different types of business loans

Whether you’re looking to borrow to grow your business, access short-term finance, or to get immediate working capital to cover costs, we have the right option for you.

Unsecured business loans

Unsecured business loans

These loans don’t require you to put up any assets as security. They’re often quick to arrange, but you’ll usually have lower borrowing limits and higher interest rates than with a secured loan. The terms of the loan will vary depending on business performance and history.

These loans are for short term borrowing, helping you to cover urgent costs and unexpected expenses. Interest rates are usually higher, but you’ll have fast access to funding.

Growth guarantee scheme

Growth guarantee scheme

This is a government-backed scheme to help small businesses access funding when the banks won’t lend to them. Around 70-80% is usually guaranteed by the government, reducing the risk for lenders, and giving more businesses access to cash.

Secured business loans

Secured business loans

These loans are secured against an asset, such as property, equipment, or machinery. With a secured loan, you can usually borrow larger amounts and at lower interest rates than with an unsecured loan. However, if you don’t keep up with payments, the lender may take your asset away.

FAQs

binq specialises in business loans from £1,000 to £1 million. How much you can borrow will depend on things like your turnover, credit history, and how long you’ve been trading for. 

Usually, business owners use loans to buy new stock and equipment, manage cash flow, cover unexpected expenses, expand premises, and marketing. But you can use it for any legitimate business purpose, and the interest may be tax-deductible. 

Most online lenders will give you decision within hours or days, whereas high street banks might take several weeks. By getting all your documents and relevant information ready, you can put yourself in the best position to getting accepted quickly.

Typically, you'll need at least one year of financial statements, your VAT returns, and details of any outstanding invoices or money you owe. You’ll also need to provide 12 months of banks statements, which is done with open banking technology.

This depends on what the most suitable type of loan is for your business. Secured loans might give you access to larger borrowing and at better rates, but your assets will be at risk. 

Rates vary depending on your business profile, and the kind of loan you’re applying for. So, it’s best to shop around and research all your options.

How long you have will depend on how much you’re borrowing and the terms of the agreement. Short-term loans can be 3-18 months, but with a long-term loan, you could have up to 10 years to repay.

Longer-term loans usually mean lower monthly payments, but you could find yourself paying more over the duration of the agreement.

Depending on the type of loan and your business, lenders might run a check against your company, or yourself. It’s worth remembering that applying for a loan for your business won’t automatically affect your credit score, but it could show up on your report.

In some cases, you can, but it’s likely that you’ll only be able to borrow lower amounts, and at higher rates. There are some lenders who specialise in bad credit loans, so always shop around.

If you're struggling to keep up, then contact your lender immediately. They might offer you different terms to give you extra breathing space, so you can stay on track.

Missing payments can impact your credit score, result in legal action, or lead to your assets being seized.

Using open banking technology and AI, we assess your business information, and match you with the specialist and traditional lenders to find you your best options.
