Lenders may accept:

  • Commercial or residential property
  • General Security Agreement – a charge over your business assets

Some loans (like unsecured working capital loans) don’t require landed security but may come with higher interest rates.

The approval process varies by lender and loan type, but below is a guide:

  • Low-doc or asset-backed loans – As fast as 48 hours – 2 weeks
