Guide: Business loan without security, personal bail or guarantee

Most business owners have found themselves in a situation where additional capital is needed to keep operations running. You may need new equipment, hire staff or invest in marketing. But especially for business owners of small or newly created businesses, it can be difficult to get a loan at the bank. Especially if you can not provide collateral for the loan.

At Qred, we focus on small Danish companies. They are the backbone of the Danish business community and they want to help them grow. At Qred, you can borrow money without any collateral requirements. However, we require you to be personally liable for the loan as a self-debtor guarantor.

Et business loans or a business credit does not really require any kind of security or mortgage. However, it is something that almost all lenders require in order to issue a credit, especially when it comes to small and medium-sized businesses. There are a number of different types of warranties, but in this post we will only review personal warranties. So you can understand what unsecured business loans mean in simple terms.

Personal Guarantee for Business Loans

When making a personal guarantee for a loan with a good interest rate, it means that you vouch for the company. You simply undertake to pay if the company is unable to repay the business loan. It is called personal liability and means that the creditor, i.e. the lender, can be sure of getting his money back even if the company goes bankrupt. In other words, unsecured business loans are quite rare.

Requirements for guarantors for business loans

Common requirements for bail bondsmen are:

• That the person must be a Swedish citizen
• Have an Organized Economy
• Free from payment annotations
• No Debt Balance

The lender controls the person listed as the personal guarantor, and although some tolerate payment annotations, few accept a personal guarantor with a debt balance. It is therefore important that both you as a personal guarantor and any person acting as guarantor for your business are aware of your financial situation. Both private and corporate economics.

The advantage of a personal guarantee

A big advantage of using a personal guarantee for a business loan is that you can get better terms, either in relation to the loan amount, cost or term. If you are applying for a larger business loan or want to get even better terms, you can get more people to bail in person. It spreads the risk to the lender.

The Disadvantage of a Personal Bail

It is simply a matter of you, as a private individual, guaranteeing for the loan and the company's ability to pay. Your personal finances can be adversely affected if the company has difficulty repaying loans, invoices and debts. Therefore, think about whether there is anything you can do and whether you should enter into an agreement with any partners or collaborators.

Collateral is the most common form of guarantee.

When it comes to business loans, the property guarantee is the most common form of surety. This type is the only one in which it is allowed to have several guarantors as collateral. What may seem harsh is that the lender can choose to charge anyone for the debt. In other words, they do not have to take into account other than moral considerations for the economic situation of the various persons.

A simple guarantee is the most common guarantee for loans to small businesses.

If you and your business take out a loan for a small business, some lenders will accept a simple guarantee as collateral. The process for a simple guarantee is for the lender to submit the debt to the Crown Prosecution Service so they can examine the company's ability to repay the loan. If Kronofogden does not believe that the company can repay the debt in the form of money, property or other, the lender may require the guarantor to pay part or all of the debt.

It is therefore very unusual to get a business loan without a guarantee. Some form of collateral is often required by banks and lenders. Contact us if you have any doubts about what this means for your business in connection with a business loan.

Why is it necessary to bookmark personally?

Whoever lends money out wants to be sure that the person who borrowed the money is actually paying the loan back. If the company cannot provide collateral, it is almost always required that the owner be personally liable for the debt.
