What’s the difference between secured and unsecured business loans?

Unsecured loans

Loans up to £500,000


Unsecured loans allow you to borrow without giving security on any business assets, such as property or equipment. They’re a quick and easy way to get an affordable cash injection for your business.




Secured loans

Loans up to £1 million


Secured loans allow you to borrow more for your business as you can use business assets as collateral. If your business can’t pay back the loan in full, the proceeds from the sale of assets can be used to pay off the outstanding amount.


What we offer

At Funding Circle we offer a variety of products to suit different needs, from business loans to short term finance.
