Frequently asked questions
Can I use my home as security for a business loan?
Yes - many lenders will accept residential property (including your home) as security for a business loan. However, this does mean your home is at risk if you cannot repay the loan, so it's important to consider this carefully.
What loan-to-value (LTV) is available for secured business loans?
Most secured business lenders will lend up to 70-75% of the property's value. Specialist lenders may go higher in certain cases. The LTV available depends on the property type, location, and your overall financial profile.
How long does a secured business loan take to arrange?
Secured loans require property valuation and legal work, which typically adds 3-6 weeks to the process. However, for second charges on existing properties with known values, some lenders can move faster - often within 2-3 weeks.
