Things happen, often the unexpected, and when they do many businesses turn to emergency business loans to get access to cash quick. Unlike traditional loans that may take weeks or even months to process, emergency business loans offer a streamlined application and approval process, with minimal documentation requirements.
Emergency business loans are normally unsecured loans that allow you to borrow without giving security on any business assets. They’re a quick and easy way to get an affordable cash injection for your business. Like with any loan you’ll repay the amount you borrow in monthly installments over an agreed period of time, and the interest rate is fixed so you'll know your repayments.
An emergency business loan can be used to fund most business related purposes such as buying stock or equipment, covering running costs, business expansion or cash flow. There may be an unmissable opportunity or an unexpected bill whereby funds are needed quickly, emergency business loans offer flexibility and are quicker and simpler to get than traditional bank loans.
The process of securing an emergency business loan differs depending on the type of lender. Same Day Business Loans work with a panel of trusted lenders that often have less requirements compared to traditional loans from banks. This means there’s more chance of getting approved when you may not meet the strict criteria set out by the banks.
Unsecured lending can be more expensive, interest rates are normally higher compared to secured lending because the lender is taking on more risk. But there are many lenders offering competitive interest rates currently starting from around 6.9% p.a. which is often much more affordable than a business overdraft or a credit card. If your business has a solid trading history and a good credit rating you’ll likely be offered better interest rates.
