Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee approval or funding. Program availability, amounts, terms, costs, and timing depend on the applicant and funding provider. Expedited applications are generally reviewed within 24–48 hours; review time is not a funding guarantee.
An unsecured business loan does not rely on a specific pledged asset in the same way as equipment or real-estate financing. It may still require a personal guarantee, a general lien on business assets, ACH authorization, or other contractual protections.

What “unsecured” does—and does not—mean

Unsecured does not mean risk-free, obligation-free, or guaranteed. Because the provider is not relying on a specific asset, qualification may depend more heavily on business cash flow, credit, revenue consistency, operating history, and the strength of the guarantor.

Potential uses include:
  • working capital;
  • inventory;
  • marketing;
  • hiring;
  • repairs;
  • expansion expenses;
  • technology or smaller equipment.

What providers may review

  • business and personal credit;
  • revenue and profitability;
  • time in business;
  • bank statements and cash balances;
  • current debt and lien position;
  • business entity and ownership;
  • industry and intended use;
  • personal guarantee capacity.

Frequently asked questions
  • Do unsecured business loans require no collateral at all?
    They may not require a specific asset, but a provider can still require a personal guarantee or general lien. Read the security and guarantee sections of the agreement.
  • Are unsecured loans easier to qualify for?
    Not necessarily. Without specific collateral, providers may require stronger cash flow, credit, revenue, or operating history.
  • How much can I request?
    The website accepts funding requests from $20,000 to $5,000,000 across available programs. Unsecured product limits may be lower and depend on underwriting.
  • Is an MCA an unsecured loan?
    No. A merchant cash advance is generally structured as a purchase of future receivables, not an unsecured loan, even if no specific physical asset is pledged.
