This type of financing allows businesses to secure funding without the need of Bricks and Mortar security. The funding process is quick and easy. Normally funds up to $150,000 can be sourced without any security at all. Amounts over $150,000 the funder will require some sort of security, perhaps a 2nd mortgage or GSA (General Security Agreement).
Unsecured loans are not assessed on your last 3 years financials rather your last 6 months business bank statements as these present an UpToDate picture of your business. Loans are also assessed on your credit worthiness rather than a balance sheet.
