There are a number of occasions when an unsecured business loan should be considered.
- As a means of bolstering working capital eg you need to pay for some stock or continue to fund the operation whilst you collect some slow debtors
- As a means to acquire a critical asset for the development of the business eg a piece of IT equipment which will allow to to lift capacity
- To restructure your cashflow eg you've maxed out your credit cards and refinancing these with an unsecured loan would signiificantly reduce your regular outgoings
