Unsecured Business Loans

Fast, flexible funding—no assets required

Not every business wants (or is able) to borrow against property or equipment. An unsecured business loan gives you quick access to capital without putting up assets as collateral. For asset-light businesses, or for those who simply prefer not to leverage existing property, it’s a straightforward and flexible option.

Loan sizes usually range from £10,000 up to £2 million, with repayment terms between 3 months and 6 years. Because these loans are unsecured, most lenders will require a personal guarantee from a director or shareholder.

At GIFCO, we keep the process simple. We connect you with trusted lenders, manage the application from start to finish, and ensure the facility is set up in a way that’s transparent and compliant—so you can focus on running your business.

What is an Unsecured Loan?

Unlike secured loans, unsecured business loans don’t rely on physical assets. Approval is based on your business’s financial profile, supported by a personal guarantee.

They’re often a good fit if:

You don’t have assets to use as security

You prefer not to risk property or equipment

You need a fast injection of working capital to support cashflow or growth

Many unsecured loans also come with flexibility to overpay or settle early without penalty.
