In the business loan environment there are really only two kinds of business loans. These two types are secured business loans and unsecured business loans.
Secured business loans are loans that are secured by some sort of asset. For example, if you own a home, or your business has accounts receivables, the bank will secure the loan with these assets. Usually, the bank will ask for an asset that is equal to or greater than the worth of the loan you are looking for. So if you are looking for a business loan in the amount of $100,000 dollars, the bank will want an asset to use as collateral on that loan that is worth at least $100,000 dollars. Again, these assets can be anything from credit card receivables, equipment, stocks or bonds, or anything else of value. The purpose for this is if you happen to not pay the loan back, the bank reserves the right to take possession of that asset, sell it as a form of repayment for your loan.
Unsecured business loans are loans that do not require collateral. These types of loans are very difficult to be approved for if you do not have the correct corporate foundation. In essence, the bank or lending institution will approve your business for financing purely on trust that you will pay the loan back. In order for the bank to trust that you will pay the loan back, you must have the numbers to prove it. These numbers consist of your business credit score, personal credit score, business financials, years in business, and any other underwriting guideline the bank or lender might have.
