Formal lenders offer many different types of business loan options for small businesses. An unsecured business loan is just one of your options, but it is one of the most popular loan options for small businesses that are still relatively young.
What is an unsecured business loan?
When you get a loan from a lender without giving them any security or collateral in exchange, it is called an unsecured loan. You can use an unsecured business loan to invest in inventory, fund your growth, finance your operations, etc.
Due to the lack of security required, lenders give small businesses unsecured business loans only for short loan tenors at a slightly higher interest rate compared to secured business loans. The size of an unsecured business loan will also be lesser than a secured business loan you could get if you owned collateral to give to the lender.

Why is an unsecured business loan right for my small business?
- If you do not own any (or much) collateral, this is a great option to get funding for your small business without putting up any collateral in exchange.
- If you’re a small business looking to grow your credit history, you can get a low ticket size unsecured business loan with a short loan tenor. You can pay the loan back quickly while improving your credit score and building your credit history at the same time. Paying your EMIs on time will also increase your creditworthiness with lenders and make you eligible for better loan terms in the future.
- The process to get unsecured business loans is relatively simple.
- Lenders can process an unsecured loan faster when compared to any other type of small business loan, as they don’t have to spend any time verifying and validating your collateral ownership and value.
- Lenders require less documentation for an unsecured loan compared to other types of small business funding.
