Business Loans

There are various types of business loans, including secured and unsecured loans. Interest rates will depend on the type of loan taken and the term length. It's important to consider the right choice for the situation and business at hand. 

Secured Loans are a type of financial solution that businesses can obtain using their items as collateral. Commercial assets allow larger facility sizes because security is taken from the business. Once assets and creditworthiness have been assessed, a cash injection can then be released into the business. 

Unsecured Loans are another type of cash injection but differs slightly in terms of eligibility. A business owner can obtain an unsecured business loan without having to provide collateral or security to the lender. However, creditworthiness is still taken into account before approval. 

VAT Loans can be used to help business owners keep up with their recurring VAT expenses. It often requires prompt payment, so when cashflow is held up, meeting ongoing VAT commitments can add additional strain. We relieve that pressure by paying their VAT commitments and allowing our clients to pay back in manageable, monthly installments over the 3 month period.

It's important to know what type of loan is best suited to your client's unique goals as well as their financial situation. We help brokers make an informed decision about which is best for the situation at hand.

We offer a number of different loan sizes to support all kinds of business investment. Term lengths range from 3 months to 5 years and rates depend on the type of loan taken. To find out more, speak to a member of our Business Development team today.

Secured Business Loans: what are they and who are they for?

• At Prudential Trust Finance, we have recently doubled our Secured Loan offering to businesses from £250,000 to £500,000.
• We facilitate loans of £50,000 to £500,000 with a loan term of up to 5 years.
• The businesses we support must be based in England or Wales to obtain a Secured Loan; they should have been trading for around 2 years.

A Secured Business Loan can be a great way to obtain the capital needed to grow an organisation. Business loans secured with collateral, such as cars, property, machinery, or equipment, may be the right choice for businesses with valuable assets. In order to meet the criteria, financial performance, credit history and growth plans are also taken into account.

Unsecured business loans are a type of loan that allow businesses to borrow money without the need for collateral as security. Instead, the business's financial performance, growth plans and credit history are taken into consideration. If an unsecured business loan is taken out, the business will be responsible for paying back the entire amount borrowed, plus interest and fees.

This type of loans may be used for:

• Cash flow injection
• Business growth 
• Stock or asset purchases
• Large or unexpected one-off costs
• Property expenses
• Refurbishment

Unsecured Business Loans can be a great option for a business that needs a quick funding solution.

Usually, unsecured loans are based on a combination of credit rating, business stability and general affordability to pay the loan back. As this type of loan doesn’t require any security in the form of collateral, the maximum loan amounts are typically smaller than those available with Secured Loans.

Working capital: Our Unsecured Business Loans can help pay for everyday operating expenses, such as payroll and rent.
