What Is a Secured Business Loan?
Secured business loans require an asset, such as property, vehicles, or equipment, as security. By pledging an asset to secure the loan, you help lessen the lender’s risk, allowing you to access:
- Higher loan amounts to fund major investments.
- Lower interest rates for cost-effective borrowing.
- Flexible repayment terms that suit your cash flow.
- Extended repayment terms for long-term borrowing and smaller repayments.
What Can You Do with a Secured Small Business Loan?
- Business Expansion: Use secured lending to raise capital for opening a new location, entering new markets, or expanding operations.
- Purchase Equipment: Invest in new machinery or technology to improve your productivity and efficiency.
- Purchase Property: Buy commercial property for your business, like an office, warehouse, clinic, and more.
- Consolidate Debt: Use a secured loan to consolidate existing high-interest debts for better financial management.
- Renovate or Upgrade Facilities: Use secured loans to get funding to renovate your business premises to enhance customer experience or expand capacity.
Can You Get Secured Business Loans with Bad Credit?
You can still get secured business loans even if your credit score isn’t perfect. Offering assets as security lessens lenders’ risk, making them more willing to work with you. We connect with a diverse network of lenders who can offer secured business loans, even for those with poor credit.

Secured business loans FAQs
The main difference is that a secured business loan requires security, while an unsecured business loan does not require security like property or a chattel mortgage over other assets. This often results in secured loans having lower interest rates and higher borrowing amounts.
You can use any tangible asset, like real estate, vehicles, business plant and equipment, or other valuable property. The type and value of the security will help determine the loan amount and interest rate.
The amount you can borrow will depend on the value of the asset you are providing as security and your business’s capacity to repay. Secured loans generally offer higher limits compared to unsecured loans and can go as high as $50M.
Approval times can vary depending on the lender and how long the valuation takes. Due to this, secured business loans can take a bit longer than unsecured loans. However, we work with a wide network of lenders to ensure we can meet your timeline requirements.
