If you need a loan to get your business off the ground or to help it keep going you simply need to find a lender who is willing to loan you the money.

In the event that your personal or business credit is not sufficient to warrant an unsecured loan there is an alternative. You can apply for secured small business loans that will require you to put up some form of collateral in order to secure the funds you need.

The collateral can be in the form of any tangible asset that the lender can place a lien against just in case you cannot or choose not to make your payments. If you have good credit a secured loan will give you a better interest rate and more favorable terms, if your credit is poor it may be the only way you can get a loan.

The same applies to someone who owns or has sufficient equity in their home. If you need money to make improvements or even to pay off other credit debt, there are secured homeowner loans available. For these you will be required to sign a lien against your home to give the lender something to fall back on should you for any reason default on the loan.

You can use the money for anything you want from home improvements to going on a nice holiday abroad for a few days, once you have the loan the money is yours to do what you want with. Just remember that the lender has the right to process the lien if you fail to make payments.

If you have defaulted on a loan and have been taken to court by the lender and are subject to a County Court Judgment your credit score has been significantly damaged. This does not meant that you cannot find anyone who will lend you money as there are unsecured loans for CCJs you will have to look around to find lenders who offer them. There are also a few requirements that have to be met in order to qualify for one of these loans.

You have to be at least 18 years old on the day you apply, a resident of the UK and have a minimum monthly salary of L1,000 plus have a valid checking account so that the money from the loan can be transferred directly into your account.
